Description

Growing up with a bipolar father and a schizophrenic brother left Aaron Foster with a combination of survivor's guilt, depression and anxiety that has invalidated his every accomplishment, destroyed his every relationship and invaded his every waking thought. A comedy!

Foster’s style lies somewhere between Mike Birbiglia and Marc Maron. His uniquely dark perspective is how he hilariously deals with the madness of, well, life.

“Mostly Jokes” is autobiographical standup and storytelling that one reviewer called: “Dark comedy with a huge heart.” Another said: “Subversively funny, laugh out loud, gallows humor.”is getting nervous. Reporters descending like locusts. Lawyers locking and loading. No one is as they seem. Except Viola.  And she has no idea what’s going on.

Content Warning: 13+, Strong Language.

Artist Bio: Aaron Foster is the clinically depressed former host of an HGTV show you (probably) don’t remember, has acted in numerous films you’ve (hopefully) never seen, and is a standup comic you’ve (sadly) never heard of. That being said, his uniquely hilarious take on dark topics like his own mental health (or lack thereof) has given him a unique voice in the comedy world and he regularly performs in clubs all over the country.

Tucson Fringe Festival

The Tucson Fringe Festival is an unjuried, uncensored performing arts festival. Since 2011, following international fringe tenets, the festival provides artists with low-risk, low-cost opportunities to perform by using economies of scale to reduce venue rental costs and by taking only 20%, and sometimes 0%, of the artist’s earnings. Tucson Fringe also provides the Tucson arts community with avant-garde, non-traditional performing arts at low-cost ticket prices.

The festival does not curate or select the performances, maintaining an environment in which everyone and anyone can perform. This ensures that underrepresented artistic voices, such as people of color, the LGBT+ community, women, and other marginalized genders, are championed in our community.

The festival takes place in January every year across multiple venues in downtown Tucson. On average, every year the festival has 20+ shows with between 50-60 performances during the festival weekend.
