HARVIN SETHI

Harvin has been involved in performing arts ever since coming out of the womb displaying an interpretive comedic dance. Since that brilliant debut production, he has been consistently involved in the arts. From acting in high school and local theater in illinois, to being involved in choirs, dance teams, film making and acting at the University of California Irvine.

It was at UC Irvine that Harvin met Pari through a common disliking of okra (true story), and co-created PariAndHarvin.com. During his senior year in college, Harvin caught the standup comedy bug (a hybrid of the west nile virus) and has since performed standup comedy at The World Famous Laugh Factory, Comedy Store, Hollywood Improv, and colleges around the country.
