Chicago based Comedian Paul Farahvar delights audiences with dry intellectual humor, centered on being the unmarried son of disappointed middle eastern parents. After becoming a paid regular at Chicago stand up clubs like Zanies, Comedy Bar and Laugh Factory, Farahvar left his legal career. Almost immediately, his clear ability to connect with audiences led to him being given the rare opportunity to host and produce his own monthly show called "Drink Date Laugh" about dating and another comedic game show called "Everyone's a Lawyer" both at the World Famous Laugh Factory. He also regularly tours the country as a headliner and opening for national headliners like Demetri Martin, Jen Kirkman and Gary Gulman. He was runner up in the Chicago Reader for Best Stand up Comedian in 2021. His Dry Bar special is releasing in 2022.
In the last year, Paul has performed or headlined at Laugh Factory (Chicago, Las Vegas, Hollywood), Zanies (Chicago, Rosemont), ACME Comedy Club, House of Comedy (Phoenix, Minnesota), Brad Garretts Comedy Club (Las Vegas), Comedy Club on State (Madison), Looney Bin (Little Rock, OKC, Tulsa, Wichita), Sidesplitters (Tampa), Off The Hook (Naples), Snappers (Tampa, Ft Myers) and McCurdys (Sarasota).
He is also the host of the Podcasts SINGLES ONLY! (SWSW 2020, Best Podcast 2021 Chicago Reader) and MAKE US A MIX TAPE (iTunes, Laugh Factory Channel, Stitcher) with Marty DeRosa, the comedy writer for Marquee Network's "Off The Mound with Ryan Dempster" and a regular guest host on WGN Radio.
