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.

Hailing from the nation's capital, Washington D.C., Tehran was born and raised in the United States to an Iranian father and a Black-American mother.

Speaking, reading, and writing Farsi, he has great respect for his Iranian heritage as well as his American side. Welcome, enjoy and know now and forever: I AM TEHRAN.
