This episode was recorded in Los Angeles.
You may know
Maz Jobrani as one of the founding members of The Axis Of Evil
Comedy Tour. He has been referred to as the Persian Elvis. He has
appeared in countless film and television roles but my favorite
incarnation of him is as a stand up comedian.
I am a fan of
his comedy because it contains the original energy of joy. His
brand of comedy is not the slumped shoulders, down on your luck
kind. His is a man in love with life and clearly enjoying himself
onstage and that is what it is all about. In comedy, just like in
real life it's all about having fun and enjoying yourself.
I also admire
Maz's work ethic. When I am in Los Angeles I always run into him
around town doing sets and working on new material. This
conversation was recorded in his home where I met his beautiful
wife and amazing children. In every form of media these days the
negative gets high lighted and too much time is spent glorifying
bitter turds. The fact that he is the complete opposite of an
unhappy human is why I love him so much.
It is my
pleasure to present to you now the bright ball of sunshine that is
Maz Jobrani!
