Biography of Arj Barker - Comedian
Biography
<
Arj Barker (born August 12, 1974) is a stand-up comedian from California. He is relatively well-known among comedy fans in the United States, Europe, Australia, and many other parts of the world, continuing to tour venues in all these nations. ==Works== Arj Barker has appeared on several television comedy shows since his 1997 appearance on Premium Blend. Most of his appearances are late-night shows such as Rove Live and Late Night With Conan O'Brien. He has had his own Comedy Central Presents episode. Barker also co-wrote The Marijuana-Logues, an off-Broadway show currently showing in New York. Doug Benson and Tony Camin also wrote the play, and all three perform in it as the original cast. NBC has put him in a lead role for Nearly Nirvana, a sitcom originally scheduled for fall 2004. However, this show seems to have been either cancelled or rescheduled. ==Style== Arj Barker could probably be best quantified as an observational comedian. Unlike many other observational comics such as Jerry Seinfeld, however, Arj Barker places the typical emphasis on an irrelevant portion of the joke. His actual punchlines are more akin to subtle or absurdist comedians, such as Mitch Hedburg. == External links == * http://arjbarker.com Official website * http://potshow.com Official website of The Marijuana-Logues * http://arjandpoopy.com Web show starring Arj and his cat, Poopy * http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0054826/ IMDB page
