Aaron Kleiber has been entertaining his entire life — from climbing atop his grandmother’s coffee table as a child and being voted class clown at Steel Valley High School - to playing make-believe in front of a camera or taking the stage at comedy clubs across North America today.
Aaron began his entertainment career producing, performing & writing sketch comedy, award-winning short films at Steel Valley High School in Homestead, PA with friend Chris Preksta (Mercury Men, Echo Torch, Pittsburgh Dad) - graduating to independently produced feature films, 'Captain Blasto' and 'A Great Disturbance' , garnering dozens of film festival awards and appearances. A short stint of ala carte classes at Second City, Chicago later and the birth of his first daughter, made a permanent home in Pittsburgh and try the ‘solo sport’ of stand-up comedy in 2009. Meanwhile, already adding dozens of memorable commercial credits and roles in major studio films to his performance resume.
First touring with Steve-O of Jackass fame and former 'Last Comic Standing' winner, Josh Blue - quickly breaking-out as one of the most in-demand opening acts - touring alongside the likes of Bob Saget, Brad Williams, Jim Breuer, John Witherspoon, Tammy Pescatelli, Bert Kriescher, Ralphie May and Harland Williams.
Aaron made his nationally-televised stand-up comedy debut on 'Gotham Comedy Live' with Jim Breuer, Dean Edwards & Mitch Fatel - which was subsequently included in the 'Best of Season 2.' Shortly thereafter making his second appearance on 'Standup and Deliver' NUVO TV, filmed live during the Cabo Comedy Festival at Cabo Wabo, Mexico. Named a top 5 finalist in the Big Sky Comedy Festival, appeared at Gilda's Laugh Fest (Best of the Midwest), San Luis Obisbo SLO Fest, and twice at industry favorite Limestone Comedy Festival. When out west, a regular at the Hollywood Improv, Comedy & Magic Club of Hermosa Beach. His comedy podcast with over 200 episodes, ‘Grown Dad Business’ has been streamed over A MILLION times, with guests like Bob Saget, Paul Rodriguez, Bobcat Goldtwait, to name a few, and can be heard everywhere you listen to podcasts and now video streamed on YouTube.
A culmination of creating entertainment for over two decades, Aaron produced and premiered his own one-hour standup comedy special "Grown @%$ Dad" on Amazon Prime in 2020 during the height of the pandemic, prodcued with Animal Studios and directed by Michael Killen of ABC's Downward Dog, reaching millions streaming. The audio concert album, mastered by Big Science Sound, has a regular rotation on SiriusXM, Pandora, Apple, IHeartRadio, Audcacy & Spotify.
