Zar the Star
Zar the Star is a New York City-based stand-up comedian and content creator whose sharp wit, bold storytelling, spot on impressions and unfiltered takes on socio-politics have made her one of the most refreshing new voices in comedy. Born in Tajikistan to an Afghan father and raised in Toronto, Zar brings her rich cultural background and Muslim identity into every punchline with humor that's as bold as it is deeply personal.
Her comedy draws from life as a refugee, a woman of color, and a chronic overthinker, delivering jokes that cut deep and land hard. With nearly 1,000,000 followers across all social platforms, Zar has built a loyal audience through viral prank calls, fearless stand-up clips, and chaotic character sketches.
From exposing scam callers to breaking down generational trauma with humor, Zar's comedy is honest, disruptive, and wildly entertaining. Whether she's roasting her ex or clowning the internet, she doesn't just make people laugh, she makes them feel seen.
