Headlining the show is Kiwi comic Javier Jarquin! Javier is an extremely experienced and highly respected, multi-hyphenated performer. Having performed his critically acclaimed show Card Ninja in over 27 territories and with a new focus of building his reputation as a comedy circuit headline act, Javier has established himself as a masterful entertainer. 

Javier was born in New Zealand to Latin-American/Chinese parents. He skilfully weaves his unique perspective into every performance and delivers sharply executed insights on life as an immigrant. In addition, Javier’s gag rate is off the scale; a witty quick-hitter with incredible writing and improv skills. 

His alias, The Card Ninja has been a smash hit at Fringe Festivals everywhere since 2010 and due to unprecedented demand, will be transferring to New York for a season in 2023. With a show bursting with mind-blowing tricks, incredible precision and theatrical virtuosity, as he pushes live performance to the absolute limit.
