Finding out about a new holiday... Finding out about yourself. | K-von | TEDxReno 

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Comedian K-von, was born and raised in Nevada but discovers there are more to his cultural roots then he thought. He embarks on a journey to learn all about it and invites you along for the ride.
he star of MTV’s hit show “Disaster Date,” K-von’s humor has made audiences laugh all over the world! His hilarious hidden-camera show displays his talents as each character proves funnier and more outrageous than the last. On stage, K-von has become a crowd favorite as he pokes fun at himself, current events, and of course, the perils of growing up with a dad from the Middle-East, and a mom from Middle-America. Performing internationally as a headliner and hosting special events year-round, he often shares the stage with comedians like Maz Jobrani, Russell Peters, Daniel Tosh, and Brad Garrett just to name a few.
