Reviews for Stand-up Comedian, Aaron Kleiber

2012-05-03T11:11:00.000-07:00

Please wait.

Hire Stand-Up Comedians

"...when Kleiber stepped on stage to warm up the crowd, everyone was a bit stiff. It didn’t take him long to win the crowd over though, cleverly engaging both the students and parents in the room. A joke about his love for powdered confections and subsequent resemblance to Bobby Brown had a lot of the parents in the room in a serious chuckle. Kleiber got everyone laughing when he instructed the parents to explain it to their kids after the show. He did the same in reverse when he made some pop culture references that the parents didn’t get and told the students to fill them in later. When Kleiber’s time was up, he had really gotten the crowd to unwind."

WARRIOR Premieres TODAY!

2011-09-09T08:02:00.000-07:00

The Lionsgate film, WARRIOR, I filmed over two years ago, releases today. I was able to see a private screening of the film a couple weeks ago with my friend; Mercury Men's, Mark Tierno.

It truly is a great film worthy of any awards it will receive. Tom Hardy is spectacular and Nick Nolte hasn't been this good in a long time.

I was happy to know about the film before I saw it - my friend, Sean Collier, saw it a press screening and he let me now I was pretty much cut from the entire film - my closeup, my Russian dialogue, my Russian accent - I played Koba's Manager, played by Kurt Angle - and even all his dialogue was cut & most of his scenes that weren't him fighting. That's showbiz, right?

Go see Warrior - it's a great film, who employed lots of Pittsburghers.

WARRIOR Trailer, Lionsgate Film, Releases September 9th, 2011

2011-04-08T07:58:00.000-07:00

Film I worked on in 2009 is finally coming out! I play Koba's Manager - Koba played by KURT ANGLE, he's a nasty, mean Russian fighter. Looks fun. I'm briefly in the trailer, which means I didn't get cut form the film.

Directed by Gavin O'Connor (Miracle, Pride & Glory).

Trailer & premiere for Short Film, LIGHTWEIGHT, directed by Randy Kovtiz

2011-04-04T07:55:00.000-07:00

I had the opportunity to be a part of this great, short film directed by Randy Kovitz; produced by my friend, Adrienne Wehr. LIGHTWEIGHT first took flight as a submission in the Steeltown Film Factory screenwriting competition, when the script was chosen as one of ten semi-finalists from a pool of 110 entries.The script sailed past the next hurdle and the next, as the field was narrowed to five and then to three scripts. But Lightweight did not win the final round. (I was also in the film that won, ROLL THE DICE, by HustleBot). The script had struck a chord with many readers and followers of the Steeltown series, and a number of them expressed disappointment at the news. In the weeks following the announcement, the writers’ friends and fellow filmmakers rallied to get the project afloat. I played opposite another fine female actor, Jamie Slavinsky (who you might have seen in my Baierl commercial as the saleswomen), where we were an obnoixous 'Yinzer' couple in Lightweight. So fun.

Check out the trailer:

We're not in the trailer, don't want to ruin the comedy relief, BUT come check out the premiere:

Update on Magners Comedy Festival in Boston

2011-02-02T07:08:00.000-08:00

Hey friends -

Welp, I didn't win Magners Comedy Festival BUT I made it to the final round, finishing in the TOP 7 out of over 800 submissions (I also just got invited to compete in the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival in Atlanta, Georgia in April - sweet).

I was very happy to even place in the finals because the finalists all have been doing stand-up for at least 5 years, where I have been doing it for about 2 years; some are already headlining on the road. I felt good about what I was doing & where I am right now.

Fun things in Boston -

A Chinese buffet that was next to Mottley's Comedy Club had karaoke 7 nights week - I almost abandoned the stand-up festival to sing 'Sex Machine' with a mouthful of General Tso's.

I went on an amazing 'Buffet Adventure' with comedian/roomate, Johnny Beehner, to Chinatown, "The Hot Pot." You order many raw things form a checklist then you boil them in the pot of boiling water in front of you. Awesome. I boiled ALOT of scallops. I also ordered 'chinese broccoli' - not like American broccoli - I stuffed most of it at the bottom of my boiling pot of water so I wouldn't get yelled at.

Overall, a great experience.

The winner of the festival was a great comic, originally from Boston; has been performing in NYC for 2 years - Harrison Greenbaum - check out his site here.

Check out the other finalists:

Johnny Beehner, Nashville (and my roomate in Boston)

Sean Donnelly, Brooklyn

Ryan Clauson, Boston (he's also "Mr. Attraction," just check the site...)

Jared Bilski, Philadelphia

Aaron-Michael Fox, West Virginia

(Here are my honorable mentions that did not move on but I thought were pretty funny: Maria Ciampa, Mike Koutrobis & Sapna Kumar)

Thanks again to everyone who voted for me on Facebook to get me to Boston! It means alot that you took the time out to do that. No voting in the near future but stay near the 'like' button.
