Martin Amini “I’m Transcending” Comedy Special [Video]

Martin Amini, a stand-up comic based in LA, debuts his first comedy special I’m Transcending on YouTube. 

The special unites diverse voices and showcases Amini’s unique experiences growing up mixed in America with a Bolivian and Iranian background.

Born and raised in Silver Spring, Maryland, Martin Amini found solace in humor amidst the challenges of dealing with dual cultural influences in a divorced household. As a child of immigrant parents from Iran and Bolivia, Amini learned to navigate life with wit and resilience, ultimately using these experiences as fuel for his stand-up comedy career.

Amini’s material often focuses on his relationships with his parents, drawing laughter from the audience as he shares stories of balancing cultural expectations and personal aspirations. His talent for finding humor in everyday situations has led him to perform alongside some of the biggest names in comedy, including those featured in his debut special.

The idea for ‘I’m Transcending’ was born out of Amini’s desire to create a space where diverse voices could come together and share their perspectives through comedy. The special was taped in Washington, D.C., a city that holds a special place in Amini’s heart, having launched his career there.
