About Javier
Jarquin

Javier Jarquin is an extremely experienced and highly respected multi-hyphenated

performer who is rapidly building his reputation as a comedy headliner and

celebrated content creator.

Raised in New Zealand to Latin-American/Chinese parents, Javier skilfully weaves

his unique perspective into every comedy performance and delivers sharply

executed insights on life as an immigrant. His 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 in over 27

territories since 2010, and enjoyed a successful season at The New Victory Theatre,

New York in 2023. It’s a show bursting with mind-blowing tricks, incredible precision

and theatrical virtuosity, and pushes live performance to the absolute limit.

A self-proclaimed geek, Javier is a big gamer and Marvel Universe superfan, and

combined with parenthood duties make him the ultimate Gamer dad. This persona

speaks to a community of parents and he utilises his knowledge, expertise and

experience to create hilariously relatable content with a niche twist on fatherhood.

The perfect all-round entertainer with an abundance of skill, comedic flair and

excessive likability, Javier is a masterful artist.
