A short story about our club
Tehran “SoParvaz” – ½ Black, ½ Persian, and ½ Amazing; these are the ingredients that make Tehran “SoParvaz” one of the most dynamic entertainer newcomers today. Exploding on the scene hosting, performing, and throwing events from sold-out comedy shows to rock concerts, his energy, excitement, and unique sense of humor have made him a formidable comedian and entertainer in his own right.
Hosting highly rated TV and Radio programs, the 25-year-old sharp-witted Law student has been compared to a mix of Dave Chappelle and Stephen Colbert meets Maz Jobrani. Tehran has the best of both worlds. Hailing from the nation’s capital, Washington D.C., Tehran was born and raised in the United States to an Iranian father and an African-American mother.
His parents chose the name Tehran as a reminder of his Persian roots and culture. Much of his clothes are custom-made to proudly display the name Tehran. The nickname “SoParvaz”—which is a literal way of saying “So Fly”—was added much later.
Speaking, reading, and writing Farsi, he has great respect for his Iranian heritage as well as his American side. In his humor, he encourages young Iranians to learn Farsi and appreciate Iranian culture. As a proud Iranian/American, Tehran has always been a leader in the community, working diligently toward a stronger, more united, and better tomorrow.
