Meet Aron Kader, the guy with blue eyes, as he charms you with his witty one-liners

Remember what you momma said, "Stay away from guys with eyes so blue, they are not for you." But you will not like to stay away from thisu00a0 guy, as he will pull you back with his wit and smile. With bright blue eyes and a ready smile, Aron Kader feels that his coming from a mixed family (Aron has a Palestinian father and a Mormon mother) adds a whole lot to his style of comedy. He makes a grand entry on the stage on the famous Tan Te Naa song (that's what he calls it), Aron sets the stage for bouts of laughter. MiD DAY caught up with the endearing comedian backstage for an exclusive interview.








What Indian food did you like?
I really liked Butter Chicken...and...Pani Puri. Of course I love the Chicken Biriyani too.

What is stand up comedy to you?
Stand up is about telling the truth. I always say things as they are. If I didn't have a sister, I wouldn't be telling you a joke about my sister. I might exaggerate the truth a little bit but I won't say something that's not true. I notice things around me.

Who is your favorite comedian and why?
I like many comedians right from Eddie Murphy to Richard Prior. But George Carlin, according to me is the best.
He's very wordy. Also, he has very strong opinions about things. His comedy is a lot like what Jerry Seinfeld does.

You make fun of Arabs a lot...
Yeah, it comes easily to me. I don't know a lot about the Indian culture, so jokes on them would be less. But I know about my culture and how it works there, it just becomes easier for me to joke about us.

What if one of your bits doesn't work?
Oh...I just move onto my next bit. I ignore it completely and move on but sometimes I make fun of myself for the bad joke.

Are you seeing someone?
No I am not.u00a0

What do you think about Indian women?
Ooo... Beautiful...(smiles). They're very beautiful.
