Biography

His parents are of Iranian Jewish background. He grew up in Ramat HaSharon, Israel. At the age of 10 his father died. In 1993, immediately after he did his army service, he became an over night national success after appearing in a stand-up talent show on the highly watched Israeli entertainment show of Dudu Topaz back when it was broadcast on Channel 1.

In 1994 Zion participated in the Nonsense humor show called "Naflu Al HaRosh" ("fell on their heads") on the Israeli Channel 2.

In 1994 Zion began appearing throughout Israel in a one man stand-up show which combined stand-up, different sketches and interaction with the audience. The show featured mostly funny observations of typical Israeli situations, on Arsim, on the social-political situation in Israel, and on relationships and more. Over the years Zion developed a popular skit during his show in which he would dub a couple of segments from the series "Pinocchio" (which was a popular 1980's children cartoon in Israel) in a satirical form. His show ran successfully throughout seven years.

In 2001 Zion came back with an all new stand-up show which also combined video segments and an interactive show which were broadcast several times during his show on a wide stage screen.

In 2005 Zion released a DVD to the markets which contained the main highlights from his stand-up show.

In 2006 Zion wrote, directed and starred in the Israeli sitcom "Naor's Friends". The first series was initially screened during 2006 on the Israeli Channel 10. A second series did not air until 2009.

Private life

In December 2003 an Indictment was filed against Zion for an attempted attack and malicious damage to property after Zion threw a garbage can and a plastic chair at a waitress in a restaurant, after she served him food which wasn't to his satisfaction. Eventually the Magistrate's court in Tel Aviv approved a plea bargain between Zion and the State Attorney's Office, according to which he would serve 120 hours of community service and would pay the waitress 3,000 shekels.[1]

In 2003 Zion also attacked a press photographer and threatened to hit him if he dared to take pictures of him.[2]
