AARON FOSTER
38, comedian
Performs standup comedy at clubs and colleges around the country. At least 180 shows a year. (Supplements his income with rent from tenants on property he owns.)

My very first time onstage was in 1997.... I did real good and I was hooked.... I bombed probably for the next six months.... The butterflies, man, are giants when you start.... I used to want to change the world, make people get along.... [I thought,] People will get the message while laughing. But they'd rather hear me talk about peters.... [Comedians] get rich and then lose the talent. I hope one day I become talentless.
