This unique show sold out in both March and August.
This success demand that James must come back for one final show on Sat 18 Oct and this time he is also bringing 2024 Raw Comedy Quest winner, JASPER POOLE as his support act.
This EXTRA SHOW will certainly be packed with autistic flair.
"relentless barrage of exceptionally well written jokes" said Theatreview
Using his trademark endearing awkwardness, James reveals the lighter side of his late autism diagnosis.
His recent autism diagnosis gave him pause for thought, but he soon realised that - while his short-circuiting brain can trip him up - it’s also the source of his clever wordplay and funny one-liners. Plus, his sensory overload issues and emotional unavailability make his delivery hilariously deadpan. Roll up!
Nominated for the prestigious Billy T Award for comedy in 2009, and with appearances on TV2's Pulp Comedy and A Night at the Classic to his name, James Keating has unleashed his clean stylings on audiences throughout New Zealand and Australia. He's performed six solo shows at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, as well as solo shows at the Christchurch Comedy Carnival and the Hamilton Fringe Festival.
"Endearing awkwardness wrapped around elegant, clever material. Genuinely smart, witty gags." - Christchurch Comedy Carnival
"Quick, clever, intelligent rapier wit." - TVNZ
