- Stand Ups Sit Down
- Stand Ups Sit Down is a stand-up comedy showcase with a twist—after delivering their set, each comic takes a seat for a one-on-one (or two-on-one) conversation with host Paul Farahvar and a rotating special guest host. It’s part performance, part late-night chat, and all about giving the audience a closer look at the people behind the punchlines. Expect smart, sharp comedy followed by candid, often hilarious conversations that go beyond the mic.Donate to Parkinsons here: https://www.paulfcomedy.com/store/p1/tshirt.html
