AARON GOCS - Melbourne International Comedy Festival / by Stephanie Puls

I’ve thought a lot about what to say about Aaron’s show “Divorced… with children”.

Aaron’s work regularly pops up in my social media feeds and it often makes me laugh - his online stuff paints the picture of very funny guy. I’m not sure how or why that hasn’t translated to his stand-up comedy on this occasion. There was some chuckles here and there but there was just nowhere near enough laughs to get this show off the ground.

You might be wondering if it’s just that I’m not in the target demographic but I took along my nephew who is in his twenties and he also thought it was pretty grim.

There’s more I could say about this show but I don’t think there’s much to be gained from that so I’ll leave it there.

Details of the show here.
