Born in Tucson, Arizona, Amini developed his comedic voice while studying at UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television.

Amini has made history as the first Iranian-American artist to headline and sell out Madison Square Garden in New York City and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. He is also the highest ticket selling international comedian in India. His 2025 tour reached 19 countries, 60 cities, and 150 sold-out shows, with more than 200,000 tickets sold. Blending personal stories, family dynamics, cultural identity, and spontaneous audience moments, Amini's comedy connects across borders and generations. Whether performing in intimate theaters or major arenas, his shows are built around one central idea: laughter can bring people together, even when the world feels divided.
