PAUL FARAHVAR and Friends!

HEADLINER - PAUL FARAHVAR
Known for his dry, quick-witted humor, stand-up, writer, host and producer Paul Farahvar’s material draws from his early career as an acclaimed young lawyer (cited in the industry's "Top 40 under 40") and his current status as an aging Midwestern bachelor of Middle-Eastern descent.

One of The Chicago Reader's 2017 "Top 40 Up and Coming Comedians,” Paul was also their 2021 runner-up for "Best Stand-Up," and his podcast ‘Singles Only!’ won the Reader’s "Best Podcast" award that same year.

In addition to selling out rooms across the country, Paul has opened for stars like Jen Kirkman, Demetri Martin, and Gary Gulman, has been a regular guest host on WGN Radio, can be seen as Karam Haddad on NBC's ‘Chicago Med,’ and recently launched the hit ‘Why Are You Awake’ podcast. Paul utilizes his platform to raise awareness for the Parkinson’s Foundation and Autism and Suicide Prevention.
