K-Von

Check out this bio about Special Guest K-Von from his website:http://www.k-voncomedy.com!

As the star of MTV’s hit show “Disaster Date,” K-von’s humor has made audiences laugh all over the world!  His hilarious hidden-camera show displays his talents, each character proving funnier and more outrageous than the last. 

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!

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.  

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.

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!

What exactly IS Nowrouz (Persian New Year)?

Nowrouz means New Day in Farsi, and is a celebration of the first day of spring, the renewal of the Earth, (Spring Equinox) and the beginning of the Iranian calendar. Originally a Zoroastrian tradition, it dates back to approximately 6000 BC and is symbolized by King Jamshid, who legend says is the creator of Nowrouz.

There are several traditions involved with Nowrouz. Most people prepare by cleaning their houses, buying new clothing, and buying gifts for family and friends, but perhaps one of the most important traditions is putting together a Haft-Seen, which is a table with seven items beginning with the letter “S.” A Haft-Seen includes (to name a few):

-      Sabzeh (grown wheat): Rebirth

-      Samanu (wheat germ pudding): Affluence

-      Senjed (dried fruit of oleaster tree): Love

-      Seer (garlic): Good health/Medicine

-      Sib (apple): Beauty and health

-      Somag (sumac): Color of sunrise

-      Serkeh (vinegar): Age and patience

The night of the last Wednesday of the old year is Chaharshanbe Suri, 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 “Sizdah Bedar” 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.
