Martin Amini is playing two Northeast shows in summer 2026 — Providence in late July and New Brunswick in August. If you missed the Boston dates or want a more local option, these are the Northeast alternatives.
Martin Amini Northeast 2026 — both shows
- Wednesday, July 30 — Comedy Connection, East Providence, RI Get tickets →
- Thursday, August 13 — Stress Factory Comedy Club, New Brunswick, NJ Get tickets →
About the venues
The Stress Factory in New Brunswick is one of New Jersey's best-known comedy clubs — a proper room with a long track record of booking strong touring acts that draws from across the NJ and NYC metro area. It is an ideal room for Martin's format: intimate enough that the crowd work feels real, established enough that audiences come with real comedy expectations. Comedy Connection in East Providence is Rhode Island's anchor comedy room — an independent club with a loyal local following that has been serving New England comedy audiences for years.
Which to pick: NJ or Providence?
If you are in New York City, New Jersey, or Southern Connecticut — the Stress Factory is your closest option and draws a crowd Martin will work extremely well with. If you are in Rhode Island or eastern Massachusetts and missed the Boston dates, Providence is your best bet. Both rooms are the right size for his crowd work and matchmaking to land at full strength.
What to expect
About 90 minutes: sharp personal stand-up rooted in his Iranian-Bolivian identity (his father Hassan emigrated from Iran and drove an ice cream truck in Silver Spring, MD), live crowd work specific to that room and that night, 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.
