The Bonkerz Seal of Approval
Google defines Seal of Approval as a status or a recognition given to a product, service, or concept that meets certain criteria created by an organization or person.
The Bonkerz Seal of Approval is required before any comic can work for Bonkerz. These requirements include a commitment to professionalism, as well as providing a great experience for the audience. Bonkerz’ comics are given an itinerary for each venue that outlines show times, content requirements, contact information, lodging details and even a minimum time frame they must appear at the venue before the show.
Bonkerz’ comics typically work multiple Bonkerz venues every year. Some of our headlining comedians work as much as half of their calendar year just working for us. Their actions at each of our venues relates to their employment at all of our venues. Doing a good job in one location is how they earn the opportunity to work all of our locations. The converse is also true, so you can rest assured that the Bonkerz Seal of Approval is not easily earned and something that comics must maintain in order to perform at any and all Bonkerz locations.

Aaron Aryanpur
Aaron Aryanpur was voted Funniest Comic in Texas in 2012, he has appeared in comedy clubs, theaters, colleges, festivals, arenas, bars, boardrooms and (literally) living rooms across the country. Recently, Aaron has made his national TV debut on FOX’s Laughs and is a frequently requested comedian and headliner in his own right, Aaron was also a Semifinalist in both Comedy Central’s Up Next Talent Search and NBC’s Stand Up for Diversity.
As a contributing joke writer for a variety of programs and publications, Aaron has covered topics ranging from current events to celebrity fashion to Stephen Hawking – sadly though, not a combination of all three. At least, not yet. Aryanpur said comedy isn’t just about entertainment. To him, it’s a chance to take a deep personal reflection that also happens to make people laugh. I love using it as a source of self-analysis, to figure out my identity and work out my feelings,” And a fun way to do some hard work. I definitely think it made me a better person. He regularly plays comedy clubs in Dallas and Fort Worth, has performed at clubs in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles, including the famous Friars’ Club and will open for the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour at the Majestic Theater in Dallas this summer. “Right now, I’m in a very interesting place where comedy was kind of a hobby,” he said. “Now I feel like I’m running two parallel, full-time jobs. I’m busy with both.” There’s like stupid questions I get from other parents,” he said. They ask, ‘Are you saving for his education?’ I haven’t starting paying for my own education. It’s not me hating my kid because I love him dearly. It’s just there’s frustration that comes with a big life change and when people laugh, it’s a laugh out of acceptance and sympathy.”
With over tens of years’ experience on numerous stages and a background that includes writing, performing, improvisation and voice-over, Aaron delivers laughs show after show with his unique perspective and expressive, likable delivery. His show has been called “controlled, engaging, open and vulnerable; ultimately, he’s relatable and very funny.”
