view calendar

Aziz Ansari is poised for 2009 to be his breakout year with a new television series, a trio of films, and a headlining comedy tour. He will co-star opposite SNL’s Amy Poehler in the highly anticipated NBC Comedy Series, “Parks & Recreation” from producers and creators of “The Office.” The series is slated to premiere in April 2009.

Ansari will soon be seen in a handful of features. He recently began production on Judd Apatow’s upcoming comedy Funny People opposite Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, and Jonah Hill and also has roles in I Love You, Man with Paul Rudd, and opposite Seth Rogen and Anna Faris in Observe and Report.

Ansari is best known for his role on MTV’s hit sketch comedy series, “Human Giant.” The series is based around comedy sketches performed by Ansari, along with Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer. Many of their sketches have become internet sensations and have popularized the trio with young people all across the US. Last year, Ansari also had a very memorable guest starring role on HBO’s “Flight of the Conchords,” in which he portrayed a racist fruit vendor. He will also be seen in a multi-episode arc on “Scrubs,” when it premieres on ABC in 2009.

Ansari recently completed his “Glow in the Dark” Comedy Standup Tour in which he crisscrossed the country performing his buzzed about stand-up act. In 2005, Rolling Stone named him their choice for “Hot Standup” on their annual “Hot List,” and he was also awarded the Jury Award for Best Standup at the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen in 2006.
