Guest comedian Aaron Waldron hails from the sunny surf-haven of San Diego, CA, where his upbringing in that veritable paradise was weird & troubled enough to make him really funny. A male nurse by day, Aaron is naturally quirky & likable and his comedy appears subtle yet packs a punch.

He has performed at clubs and venues in numerous states and been in the Boston, NY Underground, San Diego, Palm Springs, Ventura Harbor, Burbank and Big Fire comedy festivals.
