Maz Jobrani has been a comedy star for nearly 25 years now, with key roles on network sitcoms including “Superior Donuts” and “The Kings of Prosperity.” He’s also had several successful stand-up specials, including “Immigrant” (2017) and “Pandemic Warrior” (2021).
He will be performing three shows this weekend at the Den Theatre in Wicker Park. While he’s intent on serving up plenty of laughter on life as an immigrant, overcoming the pandemic and his wife and family, this time around he will also spend a few minutes at the end of each show discussing a decidedly serious topic with the audience: the massive protests currently taking place in his native land of Iran.
