James Mullinger is no slackard. In terms of the sheer volume of output he might be the hardest working person in the Maritimes. From comedy shows, to fundraisers, to television series, to films, he is going non-stop. I can truthfully say that I have never seen him sleep.

Some two years ago when he moved to New Brunswick, it was if a bomb had been dropped on the province and we were suddenly playing host to a British invasion. Propaganda pamphlets littered our streets with little Union Jacks on one side and statements like ‘Your Conservative Overlords have no funny bones!’ on the other. His face seemed to appear in every shop window, he completely dominated the media, and you couldn’t host an event without him making an appearance as a special guest.
