Martin Amini is playing Albuquerque on his 2026 tour at Hyena's Comedy Nightclub — a Southwestern stop that not every touring comedian makes. If you are in New Mexico or within driving distance, here is what you need before you go.

About Hyena's Comedy Nightclub
Hyena's is Albuquerque's established independent comedy room — a local institution that books touring comedians at the right point in their careers. It is exactly the kind of intimate, dedicated comedy space where Martin's crowd work and matchmaking format works best. No anonymous back rows, no distractions — just a focused room paying attention.
What to expect
Approximately 90 minutes: sharp personal stand-up built around his Iranian-Bolivian identity (his father Hassan emigrated from Iran and drove an ice cream truck in Silver Spring, MD), live crowd work that responds to whoever is actually in the room, and the signature matchmaking segment where he introduces single audience members to each other on stage. Real couples have come from this bit. He has attended the weddings.
Why Albuquerque specifically
Albuquerque has a culturally diverse population — a mix of Hispanic, Native American, Anglo, and immigrant communities — that tends to produce exactly the kind of room Martin's material rewards. His Iranian-Bolivian, Silver Spring lens resonates differently for different people, and that range in the audience makes the show richer rather than narrower. The Southwest market also tends to bring strong energy to live events because touring acts do not come through as often as in coastal cities.
