Shortly after, he moved back to Kansas City and won the 2014 Local Comic Standing competition. He quickly became a Midwest favorite, placing 2nd in the 2016 Cleveland Comedy Festival, winning the 2017 Funniest Person in Wichita, and was a finalist on season 8 of Comcast’s Trial by Laughter.
Aaron has performed at some of the best comedy festivals in the country, including San Francisco Sketchfest, Limestone, Asheville, and 10,000 Laughs. He has also shared the stage with real comedians like Todd Barry, Sam Tallent, and Ron Funches. His comedy has been featured on Comedy Juice, Men’s Humor, and Someecards.
