Max Amini Unplugged: Success with comical improvisation
Max Amini was born in Tucson Arizona to Iranian parents, and raised on the East Coast. He graduated from UCLA’s school of Theater, Film and Television in 2004. As an actor, Max has over 50 film and television credits including NBC’s Heroes, regular appearances on Comedy Central’s Mind of Mencia, and a leading role in the upcoming feature film Beyond Paradise.
Max began his stand-up comedy career in 2002 at the LA Improv. The show was his final class in a comedy workshop. He quickly built a reputation as one of the fastest growing comedians in the Los Angeles comedy circuit. In 2006 the world famous Laugh Factory in Hollywood, impressed with Max's popular performances and steady career growth, made him a resident comic. In 2009 Max was chosen as one of the finalists for NBC’s Diversity Showcase. He would later use this experience to develop a stand-up comedy tour in 2010 named “Exotic Imports” featuring second-generation Americans coming from diverse cultural backgrounds. His tour was a success across the country.
Through an array of eccentric impressions and novel story telling, Max expresses his comedy by delivering a strong message about family ties, cultural aspects, and social topics. What really sets Max apart from most comedians is his ability to improvise and create on the spot. It's not uncommon for an audience member to sit through two Max Amini shows in one night and find two totally different performances.
Max is now headlining his own shows and his international tour in places like Canada, England, Australia, Germany, Dubai, Sweden, and Malaysia have been well received. His Youtube channel (link) was visited more than 1 million times by end of 2012 and other videos featuring him (such as the one featured above) have been viewed by millions of viewers online. Max performs regularly at comedy clubs in Los Angeles, and you can also catch him in a stand up special currently airing on Showtime.
