We had a great time at a gloriously chaotic show on Sat 17th…poor Aaron was hijacked by a particularly lively audience including a thruple, some very excitable Eastern European gentlemen and a Mexican lady who doesn’t like avocado - the show morphed into a spectacular hour of improv and crowd work…Aaron handled it brilliantly an absolute star.

Enjoyed the show tonight. I braved the front row and didn't feel at all picked up. It's not that type of show at all. Full of warmth and laughs. Chose his show at random and really glad I did. Hope to see more of Aaron in the future!

I expected the wit but didn’t expect the warmth! Aaron is so charming, mixing acid asides with a generous heart in this stand up that’s part game show, part autobiographical confessional…heartbreak, exotic holidays and the perils of growing up gay in a provincial town.
Aaron looks like a perfect animation of a camp dream - beautiful face..,built bod. But it was his generosity that delighted, as much as the gags.
He’d make a perfect TV host. Amy producers / guest bookers out there looking for the new Rylan, Twitchen is your man!

⭐️ for originality (can’t tell you, don’t want to spoil the experience) !
⭐️ for the surprises
⭐️ for the genuine connection with his audience

If you want to have a good time, just go see him ! A very generous human being.

ended up going on a whim after a long day on the mile — my GOSH i cannot express how much my friend and i enjoyed!!! genuinely deserves to be sold out each night. we had the most fun, and i am already telling all of my friends to go if they find the time. funny, gag-worthy, and even heart warming. extra shout out to aaron for being so kind during my very bad migraine! i now need to watch drag race s7 to apologise to rupaul for missing the response to ‘how’s your head?’

Aaron is hilarious and a masterful (and kind) reader of his audience. We were a mix of straight and LGBTQ individuals and couples and Aaron was obviously comfortable interacting with all of us. His teasing interactions with a pair of 21 year olds were particularly funny. And he handled the very late arrival of an American couple with kindness and set them at ease right off the bat. We liked the format where a member of the audience is invited to pick a topic card pinned to a board and he riffed from that. A great way to ensure every show is different and fresh for him and the audience. Aaron is a beautiful human being who doesn’t hold back on describing his life as a gay man, who, paradoxically, says he doesn’t like men. You’ll have to go to get the scoop on that. We loved it and so will you.
