Ivan Aristeguieta is not only a hilarious comedian originally from Venezuela and now a big dog of the Australian comedy industry - he's also an incredibly open and lovely man who has been through WAY more than you night think. Whether the trauma has made him a deep thinker, or being a deep thinker has enabled him to better process it, he's very thoughtful and articulate in this interview.

We talk about his growing up in a lawless Venezuela, immigrating to Australia, his divorce & finding new love, suffering from depression & anxiety, medication & therapy, the effects of experiencing a borderline personality disorder matriarch, and loads more. He's a wonderful man worth listening to, and I'm grateful he sat down with me.

Ivan has shows on sale in Canberra, Wolongong, Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney, NZ, Brisbane, Perth & New ...
