Aaron Berg

Aaron Berg is a Canadian stand-up comedian from Toronto who earned an honors degree in philosophy before starting out at the comedy club Yuk Yuk's. He built an act that took him across Canada as a headlining comic, and his work brought him two Canadian Comedy Award nominations and a college comedian of the year honor in 2007. He went on to headline in the United Kingdom, the United States and Israel, a tour captured in the CBC documentary A Universal Language, which followed six comedians on their first trip to Israel. He also performed at the Boston, New York and Winnipeg comedy festivals, the last of them televised nationally, and appeared at the premiere of The Aristocrats to do stand-up. His one-man show The Underbelly Diaries had an Off-Broadway run at Theatre Row in New York that drew critical acclaim, and he later appeared Off-Broadway in Jeremy Levy's play 21 Days.
