About the Project
On his first night performing at a new club, a young stand-up comedian discusses his life, family, and identity as a person of Iranian and Jewish descent before his set is interrupted by a series of surreal vignettes involving his immigrant grandfather, his grandfather’s Iranian second wife, his therapist and more. Falling into a time loop starting with his joke that being a quarter-Iranian is “basically the almond milk of minorities,” the comic must come to terms with his identity in this one-act play that navigates family, culture, appropriation, and who can and cannot identify with their ancestry.
