Arj Barker throws more punches than a boxer. He has the best comic timing around. He’s hip, he’s cool in a kind of uncool way, insane and yet strangely on it.

Barker, who won the highly acclaimed and hotly contested Perrier Best Newcomer Award in 1997 has firmly established himself as one of the golden boys on the international comedy circuit. In between surfing and snow boarding, Arj performs at comedy festivals and clubs all around the world. He is a regular on ‘The Letterman Show’ and has recently starred in his own half hour live special for America’s famed HBO ‘Comedy Store’.
