Aaron Hurley began his stand-up career after a friend signed him up for a comedy competition while he was studying at the University of Illinois.
"My friend Jorge told me I now had a new profession two days before [the competition]," jokes Hurley. "Then he wished me the best of luck."
Maybe it was luck that got Hurley onto the program, but it was his talent that won him first place and the opportunity to open up for Jim Gaffigan (Super Troopers, Igby Goes Down) a few weeks later.
