Aaron Wood is one of the UK’s most exciting new comics, having racked up three sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, a successful UK tour and the release of his debut stand up special This Can’t Be It on YouTube.
He’s supported the likes of Luke Kidgell, Tom Stade and Fin Taylor, and his stand-up and podcast clips have picked up over 100 million views online, earning him a spot on Rolling Stone’s list of “Rising Stars to See”
His sharp, original and relatable material has earned him high praise, with reviewers saying:
“Hilarious, a stand-out act” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (The Wee Review)
“Definitely an up-and-coming comedian to watch out for” ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (The Student)
“Revolutionary” ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (EdFringe Review)
“Expect to see Aaron on a much bigger stage next year” ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Fest Mag)
“A rising star in British comedy!” (BBC)
Having already worked alongside some of the biggest names in stand up, there’s no doubt Aaron is becoming a name to look out for in the future.
