Fresh from appearances in Australia - Marinite Arj Barker brings us his full show of new material tonight. Barely in his 30s, Arj, the son of an Indian artist and a Northern European engineer, has assembled a resume most comics would kill for. Appearances on David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O'Brien and Bill Maher, a Comedy Central special, a six-month-long stint off Broadway and stage appearances in 10 countries -- including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where he has been a favorite since his early 20s. Of a performance there, the London Independent swooned: "Barker is a true alchemist who takes observations and transmutes them into comedy gold. ... There is no way he can avoid being a megastar."
