Peter the Persian Website: http://www.peterthepersian.com/
Better known as Peter the Persian, Peter Shahriari is one of the most established Iranian comedians in America. Born in Tehran, he's been performing around Los Angeles for over 10 years. He studied political science and law at UCLA and as a self-described comediologist he brings a great deal of insight and intelligence to his onstage act. He was also a part of the Sultans of Satire comic relief project.
Despite being a trained attorney with a juris doctorate from UCLA, Peter longed to be on stage making people laugh from as far back as his school days. His antics in the classroom combined with the constant study of comedians at the time brought him close to his desired career path but led to an almost painful experience when his studies took him away from the clubs and into the courtroom. Thankfully the dream never faded for Peter and he kept working at his chosen vocation until he was successful enough to drop his day job and go into show business permanently around six years ago.
Born and bred in Tehran, Peter’s comedy centered around his Middle-Eastern heritage but he is also deemed an innovator by his peers when it comes to
voices, character humour and accents. He is a regular at many Los Angeles comedy clubs and he is no stranger to improv and just getting onstage to do
his thing. Peter has also hit the road or rather, the airport in recent years, having been invited to entertain audiences across the globe. He hosted
the comedy variety series Zeus TV and has become a favourite of the Levantine Cultural Centre’s satire/comedy series, Middle East Comic Relief.
