Aaron Berg |
“There are few comics around doing this material.” -Now Magazine
“A Breakout star!” –ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT
“Don’t expect Deuce Bigelow. Berg is one of the most original comic acts in the city.” –NOW MAGAZINE
“There is a new barbarian knocking at the gates of comedy.” –THE TORONTO STAR
2009 was a good year for Aaron. With his appearance as JoJo Rhama in the Boondock Saints II - All Saints Day, he followed up with a role in M NIGHT SHYAMALAN’S new feature film DEVIL as well as guest appearances on CBC’s The Border and ABC’s COPPER. Aaron was also featured on CBC’S The Debaters. Now dividing his time between New York and Toronto, Aaron is developing a brand new hour of Stand-Up and will be touring Canada and the U.S. in 2010 bringing a new scathing optimism to each and every venue he plays. He is also in development of a new solo show, appropriately called Machiavellian Messiah.
Originally from Toronto, Aaron was the winner of the 2007 COCA Comedian of the Year Award. He has travelled the UK, California and Canada. It’s not just what Aaron does that makes him who he is but what he doesn’t do as well…One of a select group of comedians to turn down Last Comic Standing auditions due to it’s irreverent approach to mediocrity and his refusal to have anything to do with any of the sellout music-television stations gives him a great crutch known as integrity. Aaron has been nominated for two Canadian Comedy Awards (2004-Best One Person Show, 2005- Best new Stand-up) and is the writer/performer of THE UNDERBELLY DIARIES, the sordid tales of his part time experiences as a male stripper. Aaron has also appeared in the award winning films ‘THE LOOKOUT’ and ‘SKINHEADS’ as well as the cult hit DETROIT ROCK CITY.
“Prospective Theatre goers beware: This is adult entertainment.” – (San Diego Union Tribune)
“It’s precisely that skillful balance of light and dark, or rather, light through dark with which Berg is particularly astute.” (San Francisco’s THE INDEPENDENT)
