AX, the Arts and Culture Centre of Sussex will welcome award-winning comedian and writer James Mullinger to the AX gallery on Thursday, June 16 at 7:00 p.m. as part of our AX Reading Series. James will read from his newly-published memoir, Brit Happens, and take questions from the audience. Brit Happens chronicles Mullinger’s life from his childhood in England to his life-changing move to New Brunswick and all of his adventures in between.

On June 25 at 2:00 p.m. AX will welcome journalists and authors Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon and Jacques Poitras. The authors will read from their books, Shadow of Doubt, the Trials of Dennis Oland and Irving vs Irving: Canada’s Feuding Billionaires and the Stories They Won’t Tell. Moderator Dr. Sandra Bell will lead a discussion on the common theme of controversy in prominent New Brunswick families before a question and answer period. There will be limited seating for these events, so come early.
