<span style="font-family: Arial;">As the star of MTV’s hit <span style="color: black;">s</span>how “Disaster Date,” K-von’s humor has made
audiences laugh all over the world!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His hilarious hidden-camera show displays his talents, each character
proving funnier and more outrageous than the last. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Currently, he works with ScamBook.com as the
spokesman/correspondent providing weekly videos on how you can protect yourself
from fraud. And soon you’ll see K-von on-screen as the ‘Host’ of Warner
Bros. all new game show, working alongside cartoon icons like Bugs Bunny, Daffy
Duck, and many more!</span><br />
<br />
On stage, K-von has become a crowd favorite as he pokes fun at himself, current
events, and of course, the perils of growing up with a Dad from the
Middle-East, and a Mom from Middle-America. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Performing internationally as a headliner and hosting
special events year round, he often shares the stage with comics like Maz
Jobrani, Russell Peters, and Brad Garrett just to name a few.<br />
<br />
You can catch K-von on television in one of his many appearances, on his
popular YouTube channel, or better yet, check him out live at an event near
you!<br />

night of the last Wednesday of the old year is <span style="color: red;">Chaharshanbe
Suri</span>, a celebration of light, where people jump over fires to symbolize
the burning of anything bad from the past year. Overall, Nowrouz includes
thirteen days. The thirteenth is called <span style="color: red;">“Sizdah Bedar” </span>which
is a representation of passing the bad luck of the thirteenth day. This is a
day of festivity that is celebrated by a family picnic. </span></span></div>
