Sohrab Forouzesh is a Chicago comedian/writer who won't take it personally if you say his name wrong. He moved to the U.S from Iran at eight years old, and his material is influenced by his experiences as a fat Persian kid growing up in America. His rapid-fire delivery paired with his down to earth relatability is what makes him a favorite of the Chicago comedy scene. Along with being a finalist for StandUP NBC in 2019, Sohrab also tours colleges and wrote for the sketch show Group Therapy featured on Complex. Sohrab got his start in comedy while attending Western Michigan University where he was a finalist in the TBS National College Comedy Competition. Before graduating he opened for Nick Swardson and performed at the prestigious Gilda’s Laughfest Comedy Festival. If you’re ever in Chicago, catch him at Laugh Factory, Comedy Bar, and Zanies Comedy Club.
