Rahmein Mostafavi - Headliner
Rahmein Mostafavi charms crowds with comic timing and charisma developed throughout two
decades of live performance. He addresses social and political topics with a combination of
satirical and observational comedy, leaving audiences with a greater sense of purpose, sex
appeal and the occasional leg cramp. Rahmein entered the stand-up world after working as a
longtime cast member of “Shear Madness,” the acclaimed Kennedy Center improv/comedy
whodunit. His natural joke-writing ability, combined with his acting chops, has won him rave
reviews in both the Washington area and around the country. He also produces events like a
rockstar, bringing live comedy to venues in Maryland, DC and Virginia. He is also the creator
and host of the national smash hit Couples Therapy: A Comedy Show.

Prince Arora - Feature
Prince Arora is a DC based comic that hails the attention of crowds by fusing his Indian roots
with his American lifestyle. His humorous experiences of culture shock in the workplace,
relationships and the day-to-day quirks that come with being an immigrant make people fall in
love with his stories and charm. He has performed across the DC comedy scene, universities
and recently left his mark at Capital One Hall, opening for India’s #1 comedian, Zakir Khan, for
an audience of 1,500 people.

Rich Ev - Guest Spot 1
Rich Ev is a traveling comedian from DC who jokes about life experiences and brings to light
what others are already thinking. Her misdirection and witty delivery will show the audience that
her lines are not the only thing that gets punched so you’re in for a treat.

Gigi - Guest Spot 2
Gigi is your slightly above average middle-aged white lady in a fun-sized package. She draws
upon her extensive life experience as a military wife, mom, daughter, investigator, artist,
facilitator, podcaster, actor, and observer of the absurd to encourage laughter in the common
ground. She recently won the Arlington, VA stop of the HEAL-arious comedy competition. She's
mostly been seen sharpening her comic skills in the Northern Virginia comedy circuit; even
venturing out on school nights.

Diane Ross - Emcee
Diane is a psychologist, writer, stand-up comedian, and improvisational actor. She is the author
of First Generation Normal, a comedic memoir about growing up free-range to eccentric
parents. She performs comedy throughout the Northern Virginia/Washington D.C area and has
performed in shows in Florida, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New York City. Her
observational comedy is relatable, and her down-to-earth style resonates with a vast audience.
Diane entered the comedy scene because she believes humor has healing powers.

7:00pm Show - Admission is 21 and Over Unless Accompanied By a Parent
