A comedy show where the audience debates steakhouse dates versus taco outings? That’s Martin Amini for you. Known for his interactive crowd work, Amini turned a recent set at the San Jose Improv into a live matchmaking event, as noted by We Own The Laughs. The dating chaos on stage was unpredictable and engaging.
On September 24th, Amini brings his storytelling and crowd engagement to the Houston Improv at 7:30 PM. From Silver Spring, Maryland, Amini’s comedy reflects his Iranian and Bolivian heritage. His debut special, “I’m Transcending”, released on YouTube in 2025, showcases his interactive style, but the live experience is where he excels.
Currently on a three-continent tour, Amini captivates audiences from Just For Laughs Montreal to international stages. His live shows are known for spontaneous interactions, leading to unexpected humor and insight. Houston can expect an evening where personal anecdotes blend with audience stories, creating a shared comedic experience.
