About Javier
Jarquin
Javier Jarquin is an extremely experienced and highly respected multi-hyphenated performer who is rapidly building his reputation as a comedy circuit headliner and supplying his thousands of followers with cleverly curated online content.
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 andexcessive likability, Javier is a masterful artist.
High caliber throughout.
