Ivan Aristeguieta became a full time comedian after having a successful career as a Brew Master and Food Technologist in his home country of Venezuela. He left the Brewery, but drinking beer is still part of his job. He quickly escalated to become a prominent feature in the new Venezuelan comedy movement; selling out shows around Venezuela and Miami-Florida (USA).

In 2012 Ivan migrated to Australia and took on the great challenge of performing comedy in a second language. 8 years after performing comedy for the first time in English, Ivan is one happy comedy-migrant and willing to grab hold of all the wonderful opportunities the First-World has to offer. From his own TV show, Lost in Pronunciation, his live stand-up TV special debut, Chorizo Sizzle, the prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal on 2017 and numerous TV appearances in Australian shows such as: MICF Opening Gala, Have you Been Paying Attention, Celebrity Name Game, Hughesy We Have a Problem, The Project, and his own online cooking show About This Much.
