Javier Jarquin - Aka 'The Card Ninja'.

After winning 'Best Local Show Wellington' at the 2010 NZ International Comedy Festival Javier moved to the UK and established himself as a circuit regular and headline act. He's performed stand up comedy and his CARD NINJA show in prestigious comedy and cabaret clubs and 3 solo shows in 2 Edinburgh festivals at the Assembly Rooms.

He has been on the same bill with names such as Jimmy Carr, Pauly Shore and Paul Daniels and has performed in NZ, Australia, UK, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia and Czech Republic.

Javier performed as part of the 2010 World Buskers Festival and is excited to return to his hometown with a solo show combining comedy and cards as weapons.

"Who would have thought a man throwing playing cards could be so much fun? ...fresh, funny and unique" - The Press

"Brilliantly entertaining performance" - The Edinburgh Reporter

"Excelled at ninja standard card-trickery" - The Evening Standard

"Jarquin is seriously talented when it comes to working a crowd... the real aces up his sleeve, however, were his winning, charismatic stage personality, and some genuinely punchy comedy material" - The Stage

Javier is the star of the show at the Christchurch Casino COMEDY HOUR (R20) nightly!
