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 and theaters around the us and canada.
Foster’s style lies somewhere between the hilarious storytelling of Mike Birbiglia and the raw honesty of Marc Maron. His uniquely dark perspective is how he deals with the madness of, well, life.
He is currently on tour with his show “Mostly Jokes” that was named “best solo show” at the 2025 Tucson Fringe Festival. It is autobiographical standup and storytelling that one reviewer called: “Dark comedy with a huge heart.” Another said: “Subversively funny, laugh out loud, gallows humor.” One more said: “Holy shit.”
“Mostly Jokes” - Growing up with a bipolar father and a schizophrenic 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. Hilarious!
