Arj Barker

Overview

Arj Barker is probably the coolest friend a guy or gal could have – well, almost exclusively according to Bret and Jermaine of the Flight of the Conchords. Arj Barker is even more probably the funniest friend a guy or gal could have– well, according to most of Australia, with Kochie riding a strong second.

Arj Barker just gets Aussie culture – while most of our politicians remain in the dark – and as his satirical, analytical humour gets sharper, we’ve been seeing Arj on our shores ever more. It’s been two years since he graced our holy ground with his Flight of the Conchord pals, and he’d been touring pretty much non-stop ever since. His trail of sold out shows, adoring fans, and stocking filler DVD sales is just a testament to how poignant and funny he actually is.

And now Arj is coming back! His new show Go Time will be showing at the Powerhouse for nearly a fortnight, packed full of everything we love, from his dress style to special skills, about Mr Barker. Tickets are only $36, so skip along and witness a man who sports Dave Grohl facial hair, Chris Rock's comedic prowess and a pretty mean Owen Wilson impression.
