K-von is the most famous Half-Persian comedian in the world. Millions have seen his appearances on NETFLIX, NBC's ‘Last Comic Standing’, and his popular TED Talk. He has also filmed two wildy successful Dry Bar Comedy Specials which introduced him to a global fanbase.
Off stage he is just as busy. K-von's book "Once You Go Persian..." is full of funny stories detailing his upbringing and how he got into comedy. He also recently starred in a hilarious movie alongside Jon Heder (aka Napoleon Dynamite.)
Gathering material from a wealth of life experiences, Jose takes audiences on the rollercoaster ride that's been his life. Born in Cuba and deported because of his father's political prisoner status, he came to the U.S. at a young age. Growing up with a hard working, and always quirky, Cuban family brought loads of funny moments everyday. From his mother's ability to kill a chicken with her bare hands, to his Dad's ability to hit on any woman, anytime, there was never a dull moment. What they did best was teach him to work hard for his dreams, and not forget how to laugh at life and himself.
He made them proud when, after high school, he was accepted to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado. He became an officer in the Air Force, is an accomplished aviator, and is a veteran having served in Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. He's been all over the world and has even been shot at in two countries. This and more he brings to the stage believing that, if you can't laugh at a hard time in your life, you ain't over it yet.
