Co-owner of British Comedy Guide, Aaron is deeply passionate about comedy both past and present.

He has a particular fascination with the growth of populist, mainstream comedy in the immediate decades following the Second World War: films from the 1940s and 50s, radio from the same period, and a real love of TV sitcoms of the 1960s.

Aaron's sense of humour takes him across the spectrum, but is perhaps most typified by the broad, silly and innuendo-laden likes of the Carry On films and ratings-winning, mainstream, pre-watershed television sitcoms of decades past.

Aaron also serves as a director of The British Comedy Society, "dedicated to preserving and fostering the tradition of British comedy".
