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.

If Borat and Madea had a baby raised by Andy Kaufman who was groomed to take over for Larry Sanders, you might have The Haji Show...

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

The Persian Arts Festival, 2018 was a mystical journey that rang in the holiday season and the coming of the Persian celebration of Yalda (the winter solstice).

Nima Hafezieh – Piano
Eric Allen – Cello
Armin Antiquechian – Acoustic Guitar
Pier Pappalardo – Bass Guitar

This event was sponsored, in part, by the greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council. Event partners also include Brooklyn Music School, East by Middle East, and Ekbatan Productions.
