What I've Learnt - Arj Barker
from WHAT I'VE LEARNT · host Deborah Blashki- Marks
Comedian Arj Barker has always had an ability to identify the idiosyncrasies of Australian culture but with an affection developed through his own familiarity with the country. Part Indian Sikh and European his rich cultural heritage is just part of the fuel for his comedy.And He cleverly selects subjects that resonate well with local audiences - From Uber v taxis to the city’s sometimes fraught relationship with the Melbourne Cup.Also on his topical hit list are paleo diets and going gluten-free. But as Barker grows up, so does the subject matter. What is different from the Arj Barker we’ve seen in the past is a distinguishable self-awareness about life love and why laughter is the best medicine.But we would expect nothing less from the Californian nice guy but ultimately, what we’re most interested in are the jokes. He’s one of our favorite funny men.
