Aaron Foster will be playing the Orphan Girl Theater in Butte on Friday, Oct. 3.

He bills himself as the former host of an HGTV show you don’t remember. He says he has made and starred in movies you’ve never seen. He says he is a comedian you’ve never heard of.

That, however, might be about to change.

Aaron is currently on a self-created theatre tour with his show “Mostly Jokes” that received rave reviews a at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in June of 2024. He was awarded “Best Solo Show” at the Tucson Fringe Festival this past January.

Aaron has a darkly-honest approach to his standup. He tackles highly-personal topics like his own mental health (or lack thereof), his success as an actor in Hollywood (or lack thereof) and his ongoing mid-life crisis (no lack thereof). He says honest comedy is how he copes with the madness of our world.

Earlier today, I caught up with Aaron for a fun conversation over Zoom. So, this episode will also be available on YouTube.

Listen in as Aaron talks about his HGT show, “Freestyle,” and his years in Los Angeles. Listen as he talks about his acting career and his acting class that was very much like the HBO series “Barry.”

Listen as he talks about his tour and what to expect if you check out Aaron’s performance. I will not be able to go to the show in Butte because it conflicts with a Butte High’s home football game against Helena High. But I found out right after this conversation that Aaron will be playing in Helena on Saturday, Oct. 4. I will definitely be making the short drive to catch that show.
