His humour helped him through this transition period, where he went from an F.O.B. (fresh off the boat) to a D.I. (Desirable Iranian)! School was never Rezas cup of tea, but it provided him a stage on which he could hone his craft. He tried his hand at stand-up comedy in the summer of 2003 by organizing his own show at a local theatre. Being new to the art, he did not have any written material. Reza improvised the entire set, which lasted over an hour and was a great success. Wanting to go out on top he went into early retirement! Reza did not return to the stage until the March of 2007. His return was well received with a sold out show at a local Vancouver collage.
