COMEDY: ARJ BARKER

Arj Barker is seen by many as Australia’s own adopted son of comedy. It is the unique observations, heavy sarcasm and loud anger that the comedian has made his own and it’s a style that Australian audiences have grown to know and love. The good news is that Arj is back in the country, bringing his new show Original Style Bits ‘n Pieces to Sydney venues. “It’s all different stuff, its all of my best material,” Barker says. But why should you care about all this? Because in the words of Arj himself; “Life is short and you deserve a good laugh. I’ve worked really hard and I’m sure I can provide that, so what the f*@# are you waiting for?”
