He has emerged from the New York underground as one of its most powerful and clever voices, slicing and dicing and char-grilling public hypocrisy, serving it up as a tasty banquet. Pulling watertight arguments from his terrifying first-hand experiences of the American religious right, mild mannered Jamie has confronted the likes of bottle-throwing, racist homophobes in Texas.
Melbourne got a generous helping of his delicious comedy dishes last year, and now he's ready to give Adelaide the first bite of his new show, coming direct from Edinburgh.
This time round, Jamie's got his sights set on the man he publicly pushed for president. With needlepoint accuracy, he intricately weaves musings over why America may have elected the black guy, but they're still screwing over the rest of the world. Just because Obama is cool does't make him unanswerable to Jamie's quick-fire virtuoso diatribes.
As fellow comedian Tim Minchin so eloquently stated, Jamie Kilstein is at once irresistibly endearing and wonderfully audacious. Watching his work is like going to cuddle a puppy and having it hump your leg. But funnier.

A most charming and politically astute fellow, really good for a chat and a new accent to enjoy.

Those who like their comedy passionate, political and delivered like machine gun-fire are in for a treat.
