Aaron Barber

Former Texan Aaron Barber found himself "stuck" in Aotearoa during the pandemic. Unable to return to his adopted home in Malaysia and unwilling to go back to America for... reasons, Aaron jumped headfirst into the NZ comedy circuit.
As co-creator of the Fringe Show "American Refugees", Aaron has been spreading big laughs touring across the North and South island.
Brash and loud measured with wit and charm, he's one act you won't want to miss.

“Aaron Barber easily disarms the audience with his southern charm and sharp wit. Fans are urged to catch him before he gets too big for his cowboy hat!”
- Dr. Jason Leong: Netflix' Hashtag Blessed

"Nothing but a comedy delight, with that much charisma and cunning wit."
- Sam See: The Merry Lion Singapore
