Arj Barker

Arj Barker is a dry-witted American comic who won a wet bottle of water at the 1997 Edinburgh Comedy Festival (OK – Perrier Award for Best Newcomer)

Why are there so few comedian websites?
Comedians are some of the laziest people in the world – in fact that's why many got in to this line of work. One can sleep all day, work for an hour at most, get pissed, pass out and then do it all over. Learning HTML doesn't seem to fit into that equation.

So why have you got a site?
A very good friend of mine started a web design company Zoltron.com and offered to build me a site at a reduced rate. This was back before he got super busy. I probably couldn't afford his services these days.

What's in your Favourites folder at the moment?
Let's see.....Nothing. You wouldn't like it.

Are there any decent comedy sites out there?
The Onion is quite hilarious. Other than that, I don't know of any other great ones. I'm sure there are, I just don't see them. Oh wait, there is one www.monobrow.com 'celebrating the unity of your eyebrows'. Very funny.

What makes a good comedy site?
Don't know really.

Any sites you really hate?
No, 'cause I wouldn't visit them if I hated them that much.

Does the Internet provide a new way of exploiting comedy?
From my end, it's a good way to get directions to a club. MAPQUEST!!!!!

Would you like us to link to your site?
Yes, please. And Monobrow and Marijuanalogues if you wouldn't mind.

Anything you'd like us to plug while we're here?
Maybe your noses, because this interview STINKS!!!! But it's my fault, I am a bad, bad boy.
