Good laughs

Funny, silly, heartwarming, and teaches you about middle eastern culture. The Persian party had me cracking up! Good stuff .

Laugh-out-loud funny!

I first watched Kvon on YouTube and really enjoyed his sense of humor! He's FABULOUS!

Hilarious tour of the Persian culture!

With his sparkling personality and wit Kvon takes you on a romp thru the Persian culture. You can practically taste the food and smell the cologne as you are introduced to the panoply of Persian family characters. Follow Kvon as he learns the dress code for a pro wrestling match and the perils of dating a Persian Princess. You are sure to enjoy this rambunctious tour of an ancient and beautiful culture where family is everything and hospitality is a high art.

Funny and Relatable

K-Von narrates beautifully what it’s like to grow up between two cultures. It’s super relatable, and very funny. I caught myself laughing out loud several times while listening to this. Worth a read/listen.

i wish it was twice as long!!

Kvon, you need to write another book! i bought the audio of this and it was AMAZING! i don't know if you see these so i'll leave it on your YouTube page. your fans would agree...we want more stories! and your nowruz documentary was AMAZING!!!!!

Heard it all before

I was disappointed when I heard the book as I just saw K-von perform at ISCC and all the jokes he said in the performance was in the book. I had heard it all before!! I think he needs new material so the book is not a repeat of what people just heard. Also little similar to Funny in Farsi.

A huge letdown

This book was the biggest letdown for me. Now, I really like Kvon as a comedian, he is funny, he has funny facial expressions and he has a good way of introducing Iranian culture to people who are unfamiliar. However, he is definitely not a writer. I know he probably writes his jokes, but he needs to know writing a book requires a lot of research. Now how I know that the book lacks research background? Let’s say I am one of those Iranian who studied all her lifetime. For me the book was basically the review of all the jokes I’ve already watched on YouTube and when he tries to go beyond and provide reasons like why he uses the word Persian instead of Iranian, and in order to sound intellectual gives the irrelevant example of the Netherlands and Germany, he fails big time!
His performance is also too much for audiobooks! Sometimes, I feel like someone is yelling at me and it’s not what audiobooks are for. He should have listened to some other audiobooks to get the gist of how he is supposed to read it. It’s not a video after all.
