About this Event
More about this event:
Chicago based Farahvar delights audiences with his unique, quick witted dry humor, centered on being an aging bachelor and former litigator. After becoming a staple on the Chicago Comedy Scene for a few years at his home club Laugh Factory, he began touring in 2016, first as a feature for headliners like Jen Kirkman, Demetri Martin and Gary Gulman, then later as a headliner. With no manager or agent, he managed to build a following in multiple cities, even selling out rooms in Chicago, Rockford, Denver, Milwaukee, Scottsdale, Sarasota and Tampa in the last two years.
He was runner up in the Chicago Reader for Best Stand up Comedian in 2021 and was voted "Top 40 Up and Coming Comedians" in 2017. Prior to being a comedian, Farahvar was a trial litigator, earning the "Top 40 under 40" honor among judges and peers in Illinois. His podcast SINGLES ONLY! (SWSW 2020, was voted Best Podcast in 2021 (Chicago Reader) and he was a regular guest host on WGN Radio. He played "Karam Haddad" on NBC's "Chicago Med" in His Dry Bar special dropped in April, 2023 and his new special with Helium Records dropped on April 26, 2023.
As a touring comedian, he utilizes his platform to raise awareness for the Parkinson’s Foundation, a cause very close to his heart. He has raised over $50,000 for Parkinsons Foundation in the last few years in honor of his father who suffers from the disease as well and thousands of dollars for Autism and Suicide Prevention. Never one to be complacent, Farahvar continually seeks ways to assert his creative talents as a host, writer and producer. In 2024, he began the “Why Are You Awake” Podcast to bring attention to creatives and night owls like himself. His new show "Stuck with Paul" will come out in 2026.
