Iranian American comic/actor Amir K is a wildly electric onstage and on-screen presence who has earned roles on MadTV and the MTV prank show Jerks with Cameras, aided partially by his vast repertoire of accents. While writing this blurb, I disturbed the peace in the office with obnoxiously loud guffaws, thanks to bits about delineating the behavior of various ethnic groups in traffic court, messing with racists on a plane after being regarded as a terrorist, dealing with a frustrating Time Warner Cable representative in India (incredibly relatable), interacting with his father (who doesn’t understand his comedy at all), and the stigmas attached to people of Middle Eastern descent in the United States. by Dave Segal
