Known for his sharp improvisation, cultural storytelling, and high-energy crowd work, Max Amini has become one of the most in-demand comedians in the world. His live performances bring together audiences from every background, creating what he often describes as a "United Nations of Comedy."

Born in Tucson, Arizona, Amini developed his comedic voice while studying at UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television. He first built his reputation on the Los Angeles comedy circuit, performing at legendary clubs including the Hollywood Improv and Laugh Factory, where his natural stage presence and fearless interaction with audiences quickly set him apart.

Today, Amini has built a global comedy movement that extends far beyond the stage. As the founder and CEO of Abstraction Media, he has developed one of the most powerful independent comedy brands in the world. With more than 30 million followers and 5.8 billion views in 2025 alone, Amini is currently the most-watched comedian on Instagram globally. His YouTube channel also ranks as the fastest-growing comedy channel in the United States.

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.

The Ottawa show at The Arena at TD Place will feature all-new material.
