Comedy Showcase: Meet Aaron Aryanpur, Iranian Jewish Texan Standup Comic

Aaron Aryanpur has been doing standup comedy for many years, but somehow we never saw him perform until now. So today we're sharing some of his work and bringing him into the Jewish Humor Central world.

As the son of an Iranian father and a Jewish mother and a lifelong Texan, he brings an unusual combination of ethnicity and multiculturalism to his comedy.

Aryanpur first performed stand-up in 2002, and became a full-time comic in 2013. His material is often about his family life as a father and husband. Jeremy Hallock of the Dallas Observer has noted that Aryanpur's style, typified by long-form stories with an "impeccable sense of rhythm", avoids the lack of edginess associated with family comedy by "capturing the anger and frustration that goes with the territory while making it hilarious". 

Enjoy!
