Iranian-Americans in comedy - with Maz JOBRANI

JINS

😂 Today on @jins_podast, I feel humbled to be able to talk to Maz Jobrani ! The incredibly talented @mazjobrani is an Iranian-American comedian and actor, who has been breaking stereotypes and building bridges with his insightful comedy that often reflects on the immigrant experience and the nuances of hyphenated identities. Best known for his stand-up specials “Immigrant”, “The Birds & The Bees” and his role in the "Axis of Evil" comedy tour, Maz uses humor to challenge perceptions on Iranians / Arabs / Muslims and highlight the shared human experience.
