James thought his stand up career was over, but was surprised to find an untapped market on the fringe of Canada's comedy scene. Over the course of 2 years, James rebuilt his career and discovered that, despite what some Saint Johners might say, anything is possible in his new hometown. City On Fire follows James as he prepares for the biggest and most challenging gig of his life, selling out his first arena show in his hometown that the likes of Jerry Seinfeld had trouble doing. The film explores Saint John, the motivation behind James' comedy, what makes Saint John tick, and culminates with James' first ever arena show. Can James fill 5,000 seats or is his mantra of "anything is possible" a load of bollocks? See less
