JARONWARDLE

Jaron Wardle is a Utah stand-up comedian and the 2026 winner of Herriman’s Funniest Comedian. For Jaron, the hometown honor came with a family-history footnote: his great-great-grandpa Isaac pulled a handcart to Utah so he could eventually campaign for laughs on a school night.

Through 2 Bros Comedy, Jaron helps bring live stand-up to audiences across Utah. He works alongside fellow comedian Derek Kerns and co-hosts comedy open mics at Redemption Bar & Grill in Herriman, helping create a stage for both new voices and established performers.

Offstage, Jaron works in partnerships and brand strategy at Rose Anvil, with a background in YouTube growth, content monetization, and brand collaborations. Onstage, the goal is more straightforward: make people laugh and leave feeling a little lighter.
