JOZE PIRANIAN is a lifelong stutterer turned speaker and stand-up comedian. Growing up in Lebanon with a debilitating stutter, Joze avoided speaking almost entirely for more than 25 years. In the past six years, everything changed when Joze turned his obstacle into triumphant public speaking and stand-up comedy performances in three continents and four languages (he stutters in six of them). Joze has delivered speeches at organizations such as the FBI, the United Nations, Google, Meta, TikTok, Tesla, IBM, BCG, Deloitte, Dell, Scotiabank, Rogers, Bell and also spoken at universities, (including his two alma matters: McGill University and Queen’s University). Joze lives in Toronto.
