Bio:
Paul Ollinger quit his job at Facebook to chase his comedy dream. (Don’t ever do that.) This highly unprofitable decision has allowed him to headline major clubs like Carolines on Broadway, Cobbs (SF), and Zanies (Nashville). He has performed at the Hollywood Improv and Comedy Cellar, headlined his own show in the 2025 New York Comedy Festival, and has appeared on line-ups with Jim Gaffigan and Jerry Seinfeld. Paul O. lives in New York City with his wife, two teenagers, and French bulldogs, Theo and Colonel Tom Parker.
Chicago-based Paul Farahvar delights audiences with his unique, quick-witted dry humor, centered on being an aging bachelor and former litigator. A staple on the Chicago comedy scene, he tours nationally as a headliner, and has also opened for major acts like Demetri Martin, Gary Gulman, and Dusty Slay. Paul F. 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. His Dry Bar special Always a Groomsman dropped in 2023, his second special, Middlewestern, Middle Eastern with Helium Comedy Studios came out in 2024 and his Nateland short special was released in 2025.
