An observational storyteller whose act includes improv and physical comedy, Amini began doing stand-up at LA's Improv while still in college at UCLA in the early 2000s. His popular sets earned him a spot as a resident comic at the world-famous Laugh Factory in Hollywood in 2006.
The son of Iranian parents who immigrated after the 1979 revolution, Amini developed the successful 2010 "Exotic Imports" comedy tour featuring second-generation Americans from diverse cultural backgrounds.
