Manage episode 414778161 series 3447781
When Tehran Von Ghasri steps up to the mic, you know you're about to ride a wave of laughter that crashes through cultural barriers. Having the dual heritage of Iranian and African-American. His story is a masterclass in identity alchemy, turning inherited labels into a unique personal brand that resonates beyond the stage.
We explore the universal language of comedy and how it has shaped our perspectives, serving as a beacon through the fog of societal norms. I share my own journey of finding solace in sarcasm, while Tehran illuminates the artistry behind our craft, tipping his hat to the likes of Ricky Gervais.
Strap in as we tackle the heavier truths behind the laughs—embracing the duality of a comedian's life filled with both public joy and private battles. We reflect on the profound impact that humor can have on mental health and the shared dream of performing in places that hold pieces of our identity. Join Tehran and me for an unfiltered journey into the heart of what makes us laugh, cry, and everything in between.
