Comedian, writer and radio host Jamie Kilstein makes much anticipated return to Mayne Stage in"F*ck the G8.” Kilstein was in Paul Provenza’s recent best seller Satiristas, alongside Stephen Colbert, George Carlin and other iconic satirists. Kilstein was invited to the most sought after show at The Montreal Comedy Festival, for 2007 and 2008 and brought his one man show there in 2010 after debuting it at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. He was Punchline Magazines “One Comic to Watch in 2009”, a Timeout Chicago, Sydney, and London’s Critics Pick. He performed at the Melbourne Comedy Festivals prestigious Town Hall, and has played the concert hall of the Sydney Opera House.

Kilstein has garnered rave reviews from press and fellow comics alike. Comedian Janeane Garofalo said, “Watching Jamie reminds me of why I got into comedy. It is like watching combination of George Carlin and Bill Hicks.” Time Out London raves, “Kilstein is a shining light probing into the murkier corners of the religious right and corrupt politics of his homeland. Funny and penetrating, he’s taken Bill Hicks’ baton and run with it.”
