Circus Incognitus
2026-01-24 14:00 - 16:00 | Imperial Theatre, 12 King Square S., Saint John
Recognized worldwide for his undeniable talent as an acrobat, juggler and clown, Jamie Adkins began his career at age 13 in his hometown of San Diego, CA. His path led him to the Pickle Family Circus in San Francisco and later to Cirque Éloize in Montréal (Québec). There, he created his first show TYPO, which received international acclaim from critics and audiences alike.
In 2007 Jamie created his second solo show Circus Incognitus and performed over 1200 performances in 27 countries. Jamie has travelled with his show in the Americas, Europe, Australia and China. He has participated in many festivals in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Macau, Mexico, Italy, New Caledonia and Bermuda. Hundreds of performances were given throughout Canada and the United States.
Jamie Adkins is a performer in the vaudeville tradition of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. With no hi-tech distractions, his irresistible character heroically battles with the everyday objects of life, permanently on the verge of disaster… moving but hilarious. Everywhere he goes, the public, adults and children alike, laugh out loud at the humour and marvel at the multi-talented performance of Jamie in Circus Incognitus. An unforgettable one-man circus comedy!
Come along for the journey as things go awry for his character when he encounters unhelpful props while attempting to present a new show that he proudly created for the audience. His ladder falls apart under foot, he wrangles a chair, he negotiates a precarious slack wire, and juggles everything! An eclectic clown, juggler, balancing artist, and multidisciplinary acrobat, Adkins has performed Circus Incognitus more than 1,200 times in 27 countries.
This international hit is hilarious, poetic, and elegantly simple. Adkins’ exceptional circus skills and refreshing performance style are a throwback to the great clowns of silent film and the golden age of cartoons, and are guaranteed to make you laugh and gasp while cheering him on.
With plenty of impressive tricks and humorous antics, Circus Incognitus is Jamie Adkins’ unforgettable one-man circus show that will have you holding your breath between laughs!

2026-01-24 20:00 - 22:30 | Wasted Day Brewing, 36 Water Street, Saint John, New Brunswick, E2L 2A5, Canada
New Year. New Shows.
Kick off 2026 with a stand-up comedy show you can feel good about.
The first Bad Words For a Good Cause comedy fundraiser of the year is here — and it lands right around my birthday, so I stacked the lineup with some of my favourite comedians in New Brunswick for a night of big laughs, community vibes, and real impact.
This show proudly supports Street Team SJ, a local nonprofit doing front-line outreach in Saint John and Sussex. As the cost of living crisis, rising rents, and food prices continue to hit harder, homelessness is becoming more visible across our region.
Street Team SJ meets people where they are — providing food, essential supplies, trust, dignity, and consistent support to those facing real challenges.
LINEUP HIGHLIGHTS
Headliner: Michelle Lynn Petite
A household name in NB comedy — Michelle gains fans every single show and always brings the room with her.
Host: Josh Kotsabasakis
One of the hottest rising comedians in New Brunswick. Also a local pro-wrestling announcer, Josh has opened for Tom Green and James Mullinger and knows how to keep the energy high all night.
Guest: Shane Ogden
The godfather of New Brunswick comedy. Over 20 years of crushing stages across the province.
Guest: Martin Bowmaster
After a comedy hiatus, Martin is back — picking up right where he left off.
Plus more killer performers to make this a packed night of stand-up comedy and community support.
