Payam Karamooz’s comedy career started at Lewis & Clark College in
Portland, Oregon. He began performing Improv around the Portland area with
friends on the weekends. Soon after, he was recruited to tour with an Improv
group called, “The Kate Mackey Experience”. After graduating college with a
degree in Biology and Minor in Chemistry, Payam decided to use his $100,000
pieces of paper for the good of mankind. He began pursuing standup comedy.
Since late 1999 Payam has been humiliating himself on stage, TV, film, internet
and any other media outlet he could find. He has performed at numerous
comedy clubs, fund raising events, and corporate venues. Payam’s Improv
experience allows him to veer in and out of pre-written material while
interacting with audience members, making them feel like a part of the show.
Payam has been seen on shows like “24”, “The Office”, and several television
specials for the Discovery and History channels. He has also played in movies
such as American Dreamz with Hugh Grant, and Caught In The Act with Patty
Duke. In addition, Payam has been predominantly seen in print ads for Intel
and The MGM Grand Hotel, Las Vegas. Most recently he has won the “A.M.
Northwest” Comedy Competition in Portland, OR; was a finalist in the California
Comedy Competition in Palm Springs; and in March of 2007 Payam had the #1
sketch comedy video, "Osama's Auto Wholesale" on MySpace.
Whether Payam is playing a terrorist, mental patient, or flamboyant stock
room boy in front of the camera; or delivering his standup material while
improvising to a live crowd; he is always spontaneously entertaining!
