Max Amini brings his sharp observational comedy to the Encore Theater, performing entirely in English for this Las Vegas show. The Iranian-American comedian has built a devoted following through his takes on cultural identity, family dynamics, and the sometimes absurd experience of straddling multiple worlds. His comedy draws from his own background while landing universally, finding humor in the quirks of immigrant parents, the clash of traditional and modern values, and everyday situations that many can relate to.
The Encore Theater at Wynn provides an intimate setting compared to massive Vegas venues, creating a more personal atmosphere where Amini's storytelling style can really connect with the audience. His performances blend stand-up with character work and impressions, often peppered with just enough Farsi to delight Persian audience members while keeping everyone else in on the joke. Whether you're familiar with his HBO specials and social media presence or discovering him for the first time, his comedy translates across backgrounds while celebrating the specific absurdities of his Iranian-American experience.
