Finding out about a new holiday... Finding out about yourself. | K-von | TEDxReno
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Comedian K-von, was born and raised in Nevada but discovers there are more to his cultural roots then he thought. He embarks on a journey to learn all about it and invites you along for the ride.
he 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 as each character proves funnier and more outrageous than the last. 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 comedians like Maz Jobrani, Russell Peters, Daniel Tosh, and Brad Garrett just to name a few.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

+Shohreh Shahani Not at all, That is Haji Firooz that forced into Now-Rooz by Islam, no such guy who he begs, as a slave, existed in Iranian Culture, until Islam and their slavery kicked into Now-Rooz. the Amoo Now-rooz or Mir-e-Now-Roozi is one that lasted for over 3000 years. to know more about falsification of Haji--firooz go to this site 1400years.org/HajiFirooz.asp
