Salam, Leila, June, Kornatara.

Thank you so much for joining me today. Thank you for having me. This is a long time coming, Leila. It is a long time coming, but I'm glad because we've built it up. We have things to talk about. There's things going on that we can, it's not just going to be your normal. How did you grow up what did you do type of interview we come with with a good backlog of things to talk about we really do

this is going to be an 18 hour episode i hope everyone i've blocked off my time i hope everyone has to

um the tarotjun first can you introduce yourself if anyone, I heard that there was a spin

class that you went to that maybe not everybody in that spin class knew who you were?

I'm sure that that's not going to be our audience.

But just in case, can you introduce yourself and tell us what you do?

Hi, I'm Tara Grammy, or get on me if you want to be correct.

I am an actor. I'm a, or get on me if you want to be correct I am an actor I'm I don't know I'm I consider myself primarily an actor but I do all kinds of things I've written things I've produced a lot I produce more than I act and I'm just like a good weirdo I think that's a good way to introduce me. I'm a super weird guy.

And pretty much everything I do is for the Iranian diaspora. That's kind of my audience. And for

Iranians in Iran as well, but most of my work has been centered on the Iranian diaspora.

Yeah. So some of the more high profile things that you might have seen Tara, which is where I

first saw you, was like, you did Persia's Got Talent with Nazanin Nur. You did a simple wedding with

Mazjabrani and Shorah Khashlu, of course, and a lot of amazing actors that we all know and love.

So there have been some high-profile things. And then you also, can you start with telling us about your

one-woman show that you did in Canada? Wow. That was kind of your start, is that right? And then we'll

go back even further. Oh my God,

throwback. Yeah, I wrote this one-woman show called Mahmoud. It was a play. We call it a one-woman show,

but really it's a play. Three people could play the different characters. And it was developed kind of

in my final years of college. I went to the University of Toronto and I studied theater. And it was developed kind of in my final years of college.
