Born in Tehran, Iran in March of 1982, Reza is the youngest of three boys.

His Father was a top ranked Colonel for the previous Iranian regime. His Mother a housewife & a Mother with a heart of gold!

As a child Reza showed a special love of performing & entertaining. Whether through dancing at family gatherings or telling dirty jokes with the adults!

Reza & his family moved to Canada when he was thirteen years old. His humour helped him through this transition period, where he went from an F.O.B. (fresh off the boat) to a D.I. (Desirable Iranian)! School was never Reza’s cup of chai, but it provided him a stage on which he could hone his craft. He tried his hand at stand-up comedy in the summer of 2003 by organizing his own show at a local theatre. Not having any written material, Reza improvised the entire set, which lasted over an hour and was a great success. Wanting to go out on top he went into early retirement! Reza did not return to the stage until the March of 2007. His return was well received and the performance was one of a kind.

Reza is a dynamic performer with great stage presence, energy & quick wit. His comedy is full of characters, music & dancing. His material covers hilarious observations from his unique point of view on many different topics. Reza’s main goal is to bring his audience into his world & away from their problems.

Being a big fan of freedom of speech, this controversial comedian delves into taboo subjects that are deep problems in our world today. He calls these forays “ Tears into Laughter.”
