Persian Cultural Center Presents:
K-VON down in San Diego (Comedy Show + Book Signing)
Sunday, June 2, 2019 at 6:00 PM (door open 5:30 PM)
K-von is the most famous Half-Persian comedian in the world.
Millions have seen his appearances on NETFLIX with Russell Peters, NBC’s ‘Last Comic Standing’, and his popular TED Talk.
He returns to the PCC for a family friendly evening of comedy + a book signing on Sunday, June 2.
K-von will have his new book with him “Once You Go Persian” (which is full of funny stories & great unsolicited cultural advice!) Be sure to pick it up and get an autograph after the show.
K-von’s style is versatile yet relatable with storytelling and high-energy performances about a variety of mainstream topics. The best part about it, you don’t have to be Persian to laugh at K-von’s jokes. He is only half himself!
Check him out on K-vonComedy.com or his popular youtube.com/KvonComedy and get your tickets to see him LIVE before they sell out!

Chehar Shanbeh Soori
2020-03-17 19:00 - 22:00 | NTC Park, 2455 Cushing Rd, San Diego, CA, 92106, United States
Due to the current outbreak of coronavirus, Persian Cultural Center (PCC), House of Iran (HOI) and the Association of Iranian American Professionals (AIAP) had to make the difficult decision of canceling the planned 21st annual Chahar-shanbeh soori celebration, scheduled for March 17, 2020. We at PCC, HOI, and AIAP value the health and well being of our community members. We believe any large gatherings during this period of uncertainties would be counterproductive to the efforts of containing the spread of COVID-19 deadly virus and as such the best course of action would be to cancel the Chahar-shanbeh soori celebration.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors, our volunteers, the entertainment group and the vendors. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this decision would have caused. We appreciate your understanding and continued support. Please stay safe and receive our sincere well wishes for a very happy Nowruz and a prosperous and healthy 1399.
