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 is performing three shows in the area: Thursday, 4/16 in New London at the Hygienic, Friday in W. Hartford at the Elbow Room and Friday in New Haven at Lyric Hall. www.MostlyJokes.com
"Mostly Jokes" was named "Best Solo Show" at the Tucson Fringe Festival and has received reviews such as: "A laugh every twenty seconds." "I've never laughed so hard about mental health." "Subversively hilarious, laugh out loud gallows humor."
Foster is the former host of HGTV’s FreeStyle who turned to stand up to manage his depression and anxiety. He has performed at clubs all over the West Coast and has been touring this show for the past year. Some of his main influences are Mike Birbiglia, Maria Bamford, Gary Gulman, Marc Maron, Taylor Tomlinson and Neal Brennan. Do with that information what you will.
