Martin Amini is playing three nights in Boston in July 2026 — Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at Laugh Boston. Three chances to grab tickets, which is unusual for a touring comedian who is not yet playing theater-level venues.

Martin Amini Boston 2026 — all three dates

About Laugh Boston

Laugh Boston is one of the best comedy clubs in New England — purpose-built for stand-up with good sightlines, solid production, and a track record of booking comedians on their way up. It is not enormous, which means every seat is close enough to actually feel the crowd energy. For Martin's style — crowd work, live matchmaking, material that depends on audience participation — the Laugh Boston format is ideal.

What to expect

The show runs approximately 90 minutes and covers three distinct elements most comedians do not combine at the same level: sharp personal stand-up (Iranian-Bolivian identity, his father Hassan who drove an ice cream truck in Silver Spring after emigrating from Iran, building Room 808 in DC from scratch), live crowd work specific to whoever is in the room, and the signature matchmaking segment where he introduces single people from the audience to each other on stage. Real couples have come from this. He has been to the wedding. He performed at the reception.

Which night should you go?

Friday or Saturday will have the fullest room and highest energy — weekend crowds come in primed. The Thursday show is a solid option if you want a slightly more relaxed room or if the weekend dates sell out first. The show itself does not change significantly between nights, but the room energy does.

Boston comedy context

Boston has a strong independent comedy scene and audiences who have seen a lot of stand-up. Martin Amini tends to over-deliver for audiences with real comedy experience because the live show is substantially better than the clips. That gap is unusual and is exactly what Boston comedy audiences notice and talk about afterward.

If Boston is sold out

Martin also plays New Brunswick, NJ (Stress Factory, August 13) and Providence, RI (Comedy Connection, July 30). Full schedule at Martin Amini tour dates.
