Zar The Star

Zar The Star is a New York City-based stand-up comedian and digital powerhouse whose fearless, unfiltered voice has redefined modern comedy. Born in Tajikistan to an Afghan father and raised in Toronto, Zar draws from her unique journey—from life as a refugee to overcoming homelessness at fifteen—to deliver sharp, socio-political commentary that is as deeply personal as it is hilariously disruptive. With over 100 million views and a loyal following of 800,000+ across social media, Zar has become a global sensation through her viral prank calls, chaotic character sketches, and raw storytelling. A polyglot who speaks seven languages, she seamlessly weaves her Afghan, Tajik, and Muslim identity into every punchline, tackling generational trauma and internet culture with a savage wit that leaves no topic untouched. Seeing Zar The Star live is an immersive experience in bold, high-energy comedy.
