About Aaron Chen
Aaron Chen (born 1995 or 1996) is an Australian comedian and actor from Sydney. He became internationally known after appearing in the comedy series Fisk. His parents are Chinese; his father, Peter, was a sent-down youth in the Cultural Revolution, and his mother died in 2000 from breast cancer. He attended North Sydney Boys High, where he started performing stand-up comedy.
In 2012, aged 15, Chen won the Melbourne International Comedy Festival's "Class Clowns" competition, and started performing in pubs around Sydney. He appeared in the festival's "Comedy Zone" section in 2014, and in 2017 performed his debut solo show The Infinite Faces Of Chenny Baby, earning Best Newcomer awards at both the Melbourne and Sydney Comedy Festivals. He hosted ABC TV's Aaron Chen Tonight (2017), supported Ronny Chieng on his Australian tour, and from 2021 has played the probate clerk George in Kitty Flanagan's ABC sitcom Fisk, gaining fans in the US after the series was sold to Netflix in 2023.
In August 2024, Chen performed his well-reviewed show Funny Garden at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. He was cast in his first feature film, The Dink, a comedy produced by Ben Stiller scheduled for release on Apple TV in July 2026, starring opposite Jake Johnson. In 2025 he performed stand-up on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and in early 2026 toured the US supporting Ali Wong. His many awards include the 2017 Best Newcomer prizes and the 2025 Silver Logie for Best Lead Actor in a Comedy for Fisk. He moved from Sydney to New York City in October 2023.
