AJ Foster is a stand up comic and writer known for his appearances on
Fox’s “Laughs”, AXS TV’s “Gotham Comedy Live”, and “Lyft Comics” on
Kevin Hart’s LOL Network. His witty observational humor paired with
his laid back delivery captivates audiences and makes them just as
comfortable as he appears on stage. Combine that with his South Bronx
charm and contagious smile and you have a comedian who is both lovable
and relatable to people of all ages and backgrounds.

AJ began his career by placing in the top 8 on season 2 of MTV’s "Yo Momma" fresh out of high school. He took a 4 year hiatus to finish college before beginning to work the local stand up circuit near campus. Winning many stand up competitions led to some early opportunities opening for some of the country’s top comedians including Damon Wayans, David Alan Grier, Tommy Davidson and Jay Pharoah. AJ has been featured at some of NYC's top comedy clubs, in
addition to regularly performing at various clubs and colleges across the country.
