Aaron Yonda (born January 19, 1973)[1] is a comedian and director from Madison, Wisconsin.[2][3] He is most notable for playing the role of Chad Vader in Chad Vader, a web serial that continues post-Channel 101 cancellation, which he co-produces with friend Matt Sloan, who also provides the voice of Chad.[4] under the Blame Society Productions label. Prior to creating Chad Vader, Yonda was known as one of the co-creators of the Madison public access show "The Splu Urtaf Show".
Aaron Yonda's interest in filmmaking began when he started making his own public access television show, The Splu Urtaf Show, with Benson Gardner in the early 1990s. The Splu Urtaf Show was voted Madison's favorite local TV Show in 2001 by the Isthmus Readers' Poll.
His short film, The Life and Death of a Pumpkin swept the Chicago Horror Film Festival awards, receiving "Best Short Film" and "Best Concept." Yonda's shorts have screened at festivals worldwide including the Just for Laughs Comedia Festival, and the Worldwide Short Film Festival in Toronto. View the Blame Society festival page for the full list of appearances.
Aaron would like his gravestone to say, "I'd rather be golfing."
