Aaron Foster brings his solo show "Mostly Jokes" to Tuscon, AZ.
First performed at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in June to reviews such as:
"I've never laughed this hard about mental health"
"Subversively funny, laugh out loud gallows humour."
"Some shows claim to be dark humor, but this was the absolute epitome of it."
"You will fall in love with a man who would rather you not."
So that's not bad, right?
It’s mostly jokes… mostly. Growing up with a bipolar father and a schizophrenic older brother left Aaron Foster with a combination of survivor’s guilt, depression and anxiety that has invalidated his every accomplishment, destroyed his every relationship and invaded his every waking thought. A comedy!
Aaron Foster is the clinically depressed former host of an HGTV show you (probably) don’t remember, has acted in numerous films you’ve (hopefully) never seen, and is a standup comic you’ve (sadly) never heard of. That being said, his uniquely hilarious take on dark topics like his own mental health (or lack thereof) has given him a unique voice in the comedy world and he regularly performs in clubs all over the country.
A few of his main influences are Mike Birbiglia, Maria Bamford, Gary Gulman, Marc Maron, Taylor Tomlinson and Neal Brennan. Do with that information what you will.
