Aaron Simmonds Headlines The Attic Comedy Stand Up
Aaron Simmonds has been failing to stand up for 32 years; luckily he is far better at comedy than standing up. Aaron has appeared on A-Z Horror Stories (Sky Studios), Russell Howard Hour (Sky), Undeniable (Comedy Central) and Guessable (Comedy Central) and has been heard on BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio Scotland. Aaron offers sharply-observed comedy which is grounded in his disability, but is by no means limited by it.
Aaron performed his critically-acclaimed debut shows, Disabled Coconut and Hot Wheels, at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019 and 2022. He was an Amused Moose Comedy Award Best Show finalist and was nominated for Best Comedy Show in the Broadway World UK Edinburgh Fringe Awards in 2019.
In 2023, he then decided to embark on his biggest challenge yet, perform Stand-up standing up! Baby Steps at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe received rave reviews and sold-out shows with was longlisted for the ISH Edinburgh Best Comedy Show. “Not only does Simmonds stand up for the entire hour of his show, titled Baby Steps, he keeps his audience glued to their seats” **** – The Courier.
With his writing partner Jon Stapley, Aaron reached the final of BBC Comedy’s Galton & Simpson Comedy Writing Bursary competition in 2020.
