*Press Release* Top comedian from Pittsburgh, Aaron Kleiber, will headline a whole weekend at the Pittsburgh Improv
Aaron Kleiber, one of the top comedians bred out of the booming Pittsburgh comedy scene, will headline an entire weekend at the Pittsburgh Improv for the first time March 12-15, 2015.
Pittsburgh, PA, February 4th, 2015 - Aaron Kleiber will reach a new pinnacle in his long Pittsburgh comedy career by headlining an entire weekend of shows, March 12-15, at the Pittsburgh Improv. Kleiber has been seen at the Improv throughout the past five years opening for top names in TV and film; now, Kleiber's own face is on the poster outside the comedy club where he cut his teeth. A Homestead native, Aaron Kleiber has been a staple of the growing comedy community for the past six years. He has created and hosted multiple open mics around the city, headlined two sold-out shows at the O’Reilly Theater, been named "Best Local Comic" by readers of Pittsburgh Magazine in 2012 and 2013, served the thriving Arcade Comedy Theater as its stand-up programmer and on their board (and will serve in a similar capacity for the newly-established Pittsburgh Comedy Festival in 2015). Through that time, he's been making crowds laugh and representing the Steel City on the stage and screen on a national level.
Along with touring the country with some of the biggest names in comedy (Jim Breuer, Bob Saget, Harland Williams, John Witherspoon), Aaron is breaking out as a bona fide headline talent on his own. Aaron placed 5th in the Big Sky Comedy Festival in October 2014 (judged by major comedy industry types; Just for Laughs, South by Southwest, Improvs, CBS, Comedy Central), made his television standup debut on ‘Gotham Comedy Live’, even included in their 'Best of Season 2' episode, an appearance on NUVO’s ‘Standup and Deliver,’ has appeared multiple times on the iTunes chart topping ‘Doug Loves Movies’ with Doug Benson (Super High Me, Last Comic Standing) and has performed in over 25 states and three countries - all in the last 6 years.
Opening for Aaron Kleiber, March 12-15, will be New Castle native, Danny Palumbo. Aaron and Danny starting performing at open mics together in 2009 and have been close friends and comedy collaborators to this day. Since 2013, Palumbo has lived and performed in Austin, Texas (a regular at the Cap City Comedy Club, named one of the best in the country) and has been featured at the Fun Fun Fun Fest and Moontower Comedy Festivals.
Aaron Kleiber, the 1999 class clown from Steel Valley High School, can’t wait to perform 6 SHOWS at the PITTSBURGH IMPROV, MARCH 12-15, 2015 (166 E. Bridge St., Homestead, PA 15120) - just two miles from his alma mater.
