Peter the persian, the self proclaimed comedioligist is a blast. Born in Tehran “the Denver of the Middle East”, Peter spent most of his young life in Iran before moving the United States to persue his higher education. Having majored in Political Sciences and earned his JD, Peter is both a practacing lawyer and a professional comediologist in his current how town of Los Angeles and you can usually catch him as a regular at the Comedy Store.
Peter’s favourite comedy sets include a lot of satirical comedy which he delivers with mastery, I literally could not stop laughing the first time I watched this clip:
Aron Kader is a Palestinian-American, Muslim morman comedian from DC. Unlike several of his fellow Arab-American comedians, Aron is a professional performer who studied in the performing arts and honed his comic skills both within the Los Angeles comedy club circuit as well as in the “The Groundings” Sunday sketch theatre company.
One of the things that makes Aron unique is that he gives back to the Middle Eastern community, not just through countless hours of fun and entertainment, but also through formal education. Aron is the first person to formally teach comedy in the Middle East both in 2008 when he taught comedy to a classroom of Jordanian students prior to the “Amman Comedy Festival” -- cofounded by his fellow comic Dean Obeidallah- and in 2009 when he set-up a four week comedy workshop during the Dubai Shopping Festival.
After breaking all box-office records at the Edinburgh Festival and then going on a forty date sell-out tour across the UK, this is Omid's greatest show, recorded live at The Long Palladium captured in all its glory.
