Aaron Chen

Aaron Chen is an Australian stand-up comedian and writer known for his deadpan delivery, sharp observational humor, and clever subversion of everyday expectations. Raised in Sydney by Chinese immigrant parents, Chen often draws on his personal experiences—family dynamics, cultural identity, and the quiet absurdities of modern life—to craft comedy that feels both understated and incisive. His style is marked by deliberate pacing, unexpected punchlines, and a confident restraint that sets him apart from more high-energy performers.

Chen first gained widespread attention through his appearances on "Comedy Central’s Stand-Up Asia" and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, where he became a regular standout. He has since toured internationally, performing to sold-out audiences across Australia, the UK, and North America. His festival shows, including "If It Weren’t Filmed, Nobody Would Believe" and "The Infinite Face," have earned critical acclaim for their originality and tightly constructed writing.

In addition to stand-up, Chen has made a strong mark on television. He co-stars in the critically praised ABC/Netflix comedy series Fisk," where his understated performance complements the show’s dry, character-driven humor. He has also appeared on popular panel and comedy programs such as "Have You Been Paying Attention?" and "Thank God You’re Here."
