Rising comedy superstar Tehran Von Ghasri – also known as Tehran SoParvaz – is one of the most dynamic newcomers in the world of entertainment. The charismatic comedian has appeared on Def Comedy Jam, Comedy Central and NBC Sitcom, and his unique sense of humour, excitement and energy have seen his popularity soar as a host and performer and as an entertainer/comedian in his own right.
Hailing from the US capital, Washington D.C., Tehran was raised by his Iranian father and African-American mother, and his name was chosen as a proud reminder of his Persian culture and roots. As the host of highly rated radio and TV programs, Ghasri has seen himself described as a mix of Stephen Colbert and Dave Chappelle meets Maz Jobrani, but there’s no doubt that the quick-witted Law student has a comedy style all of his own.
Growing up proud of his multi-cultural background, Ghasri often encourages young Iranians to appreciate Iranian culture through his humour, and he is a local leader in the community, striving for a more united future for everyone young and old. The star has also hosted his own television and radio shows on Rangarang and Tapesh satellite television and can speak several languages fluently, including Persian.
With sell-out shows across the United States, including regular appearances at the famous Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, this inspirational comedian is undoubtedly one to watch.
