Greetings, PAF Community! A very hilarious show
is coming to NYC that we had to share:

Dates announced for the bizarrely comical, first ever satire of Iranian culture starring Iranian poet and self-proclaimed rockstar, Haji.

This orientalist mockery with underlying political justice quandaries is guaranteed to elicit shock, awe, offense, comic relief, and penance for everything we learned from watching Shahs of Sunset...

Follow Haji and his quest for the world domination on social media
