Overview

I'm a clean comic perfect for corporate events, fundraisers and parties! I've been performing stand-up comedy all over Alberta and also performed in what comedians consider the Big 5 of Comedy: New York, Berlin, London, Paris and Calgary.
From stages on YukYuks to the Leicester Comedy Festival in England to every shady bar imaginable--I tell jokes about being stuck in the 90s, Metallica's haircut escapades, Nicholas Cage and why women over 50 can not stop dating me.

Perfect Addition to a Party!

Arv was the highlight of the night at my 40th birthday party. His witty, intelligent, relatable comedy had the whole room laughing and asking for more. I appreciated that Arv’s comedy was not crude or offensive, making him a crowd pleaser for all.

What to expect

Expect a clean comedy show--no cursing or any material that will out right offend individuals in the audience. I can provide a mixed show and bring comedians that will suit events, venues and audiences.
I can write material specific for events, companies and people (nothing mean spirited).
If needed, I will provide a set list to ensure that company and event protocols are met.
If required, equipment such as microphones, amps and spotlights will be provided.

About

Born and raised in Calgary, Canada. At the ripe old age of 46 I decided enough was enough and began performing stand up comedy two years ago and have been lucky enough to have been on stages all over Alberta, Germany, NYC and England. To me, it doesn't matter if it's 100 people or just 1 person, it's still an audience.
My comedy is based on my life--growing up in the 90s, the Nicholas Cage era, the only brown kid at a Metallica Concert and the rest of life's daily foibles.

My comedy is very much like watching Star Wars for the first time--you don't know what the hell is going on, but you want to know how it ends!

Additional booking notes

A microphone and speaker set up is all that is required.
Proper area (stage or space) to perform on-- depending on venues, we can always get creative.
Lighting--spot lights are always on a comedian's wish list.
