(SeaPRwire) – HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 9, 2026 — Tehran Von Ghasri, the son of an Iranian Muslim immigrant father and a Jewish Black mother, leverages his stand-up comedy to amplify the voices of those silenced in Iran today. On Saturday, May 9th at 7:45 p.m., he will Stand Up For a Free Iran during his performance in “Netflix Is A Joke Presents: Comedy Bazaar” at the renowned Laugh Factory Hollywood.
Tehran’s fellow performers on the show include Jeff Ross, Usama Siddiquee, Malik B, Or Mash, Dave Merheje, and Dustin Ybarra.

“Tehran possesses both courage and dedication, using his platform to engage audiences through entertainment that fosters cross-cultural understanding,” stated Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada.
For instance, following the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman who passed away in police custody in Iran in 2022, Tehran adapted his comedy to spotlight Iran’s “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement. He not only brought attention to Iranian women but also inspired Iranian female comedians to participate in “Tehran Thursdays,” a recurring event he has hosted at the Laugh Factory for years.
“It can be challenging to find humor during difficult times,” said Tehran. “Yet it is precisely then that laughter becomes most vital—truthful awareness and maintaining hope are essential.”
“Offstage, Tehran is known as a genuinely kind and compassionate individual,” noted Masada. “For example, every Thanksgiving and Christmas he returns to the Laugh Factory to serve holiday meals to those in need while delivering stand-up sets that resonate deeply with their hearts.”
“He fully grasps how crucial laughter is in the current climate, and consistently delivers impactful humor whenever he takes the stage at the Laugh Factory,” added Masada.
