Arj Barker

Arj has gained major international exposure from his role as ‘Dave’ on HBO’s “Flight of the Concords”. This, as well as dozens of appearances on popular Aussie TV shows like the original Hey Hey It’s Saturday (yep, he’s been coming here for a while) Thank God You’re Here, The Glasshouse, Good News Week, Rove Live, The Project, Talkin’ Bout My Generation, Spicks and Specks, The Great Debate and of course the MICF Gala, Arj has become a household name in Australia. He was also the very first guest ever to appear on Gordon St. Tonight with Adam Hills, and nobody can ever take that away from him, no matter what happens.

In his home country (well, country of birth at least), Arj has appeared regularly as a guest on many popular shows including those hosted by David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brian, Jimmy Kimmel and Bill Maher. He has also had three of his very own comedy specials on Comedy Central.

Arj is always a popular act at the most celebrated comedy festivals world-wide, including the Edinburgh Fringe, Just For Laughs in Montreal, and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival now for almost two decades. A prolific and hardworking comic, touring constantly, Arj has released five DVD’S, two of which have been nominated for ARIA’s in Australia although he ain’t won yet. But winning ain’t everything! There can be only one winner, but there are many losers. So, all we’re saying is, maybe there’s something to be said for strength in numbers??
