Paul Farahvar and Paul Ollinger
After 15 years in sales leadership for companies like Yahoo! and Facebook, Paul Ollinger chased the comedy dream that has taken him all over North America, opening for top comics like Daniel Tosh, Dave Attell, Chelsea Handler, and Norm Macdonald. He has also opened for major music acts, including Styx and Collective Soul. In 2019, Paul headlined the legendary Carolines on Broadway in New York City as part of their Breakout Artist Series. An official selection of the Boston, Laughing Skull, Asheville, and Big Pine Comedy Festivals, Paul plays comedy clubs, country clubs, and corporate events all over North America.
Chicago based Paul Farahvar delights audiences with his self-deprecating dry humor, centered on being an aging bachelor. After becoming a paid regular at Chicago stand up clubs like Zanies, Comedy Bar and Laugh Factory, he was given the rare opportunity to host and produce his own monthly (now weekly) called "Drink Date Laugh" about dating and a comedic game show called "Everyone's a Lawyer" both at the World Famous Laugh Factory. He also regularly toured the country as a headliner. He was runner up in the Chicago Reader for Best Stand up Comedian in 2021 and was voted "Top 40 Up and Coming Comedians" in 2017. Prior to being a comedian, Farahvar was a trial litigator, earning the "Top 40 under 40" honor among judges and peers in Illinois. He is also the host of the Podcasts SINGLES ONLY! (SWSW 2020, Best Podcast 2021Chicago Reader) and MAKE US A MIX TAPE (iTunes, Laugh Factory Channel, Stitcher) and was a regular guest host on WGN Radio. He played "Karam Haddad" on NBC's "Chicago Med" in 2017. When he is not headlining he travels with Dusty Slay and Bret Ernst as their hand picked feature.
