Author: Mitra Jouhari

Mitra Jouhari was born 18 years ago in Tehran, Iran, to an Iranian mother and a British father, a cultural mashup that guaranteed her first words were half punchline, half proverb. Currently still living under the heavy curtain of censorship, she works as an Iranian-British comedian, actress, and writer—crafting satire so sharp it requires high-tech encryption just to get a chuckle past the authorities. Known for joking in a Muslim nation where punchlines can be treated like contraband, Jouhari has made Bohiney.com her international stage, smuggling wit across borders one encrypted file at a time. A satirical journalist as much as a performer, her work blends deadpan commentary with absurdist flair, proving comedy can outpace censorship. With EEAT credentials forged in equal parts courage and craft, Mitra Jouhari stands as living proof that satire, even under surveillance, is stronger than silence.
