James Adomian: Lacking in Character
Take a trip into the mind of James Adomian, where his many celebrated characters and impressions vie with his real voice as he explores the twin nightmares of politics and pop culture from a queer - and distinctly weird - point of view. Discover why this veteran stand-up comic has delighted a wide range of audiences across North America and beyond. Adomian was a Top 10 finalist on NBC's Last Comic Standing and has performed internationally, to much acclaim, at many festivals including Melbourne and Just For Laughs in Montreal.
