An ARIA Award Winning American comedian and actor, Arj’s performance intends to answer some of life’s biggest questions which will have audiences laughing and learning well into the night. The Mind Field has garnered much attention and five-star reviews from various publications and critics, with Broadway Baby calling Arj’s performance, “excellent stand-up by an exceptional comedian.”
Arj has been deemed Australia’s funniest adopted Californian, and having spent over a decade living in Melbourne, he has come to understand the complexities of Australian culture, an understanding he comedically intertwines into his performances.

After selling out shows across 2023, Arj landed himself a spot on the star studded 2024 Brisbane Comedy Festival lineup earlier this year where he performed Power Hour – a compilation of his most beloved jokes over the past thirty years.
Arj will ignite the JL Kelly Theatre into uncontrollable laughter on Friday 9 May, 2025, with audiences advised to strap in to enjoy many humorous perspectives on many of life’s most questionable phenomenon’s like, “why do farts smell?”. A 15+ performance, The Mind Field will explore many profound concepts with a comedic tone and tickets to the once in a lifetime performance will be available from 10am on Thursday 28 November on the JL Kelly Theatre website.
You’ll laugh, and you’ll learn, but you’ll never look at anything the same once you enter… The Mind Field.
