Boy Mestizo

Fresh from rave reviews and sell-out shows across Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland, James Roque brings his hour of 'too real' laughs down south!

James has always thought his hang-ups about being brown came from when he landed on Kiwi soil all those years ago. Now he realises he may have accidentally checked in some baggage. Join him as he unpacks it all – who knows what will come out.

A local favourite on the stand-up comedy scene, James is a familiar face from Jono and Ben, Funny Girls and Only in Aotearoa. He is also a panellist for Have You Been Paying Attention? and 7 Days.

In 2019, Boy Mestizo was a finalist for the Fred Award for Best Show at the NZ International Comedy Festival.
