Martin Amini is bringing his 2026 tour to Toronto — one of the international stops on the schedule, and one of the most interesting comedy markets in North America. The Toronto show is at Comedy Bar Danforth, an independent room with a strong reputation in the city's comedy scene.

About Comedy Bar Danforth
Comedy Bar is Toronto's best-known independent comedy venue — comedian-run, curatorially sharp, and consistently ahead of the mainstream in terms of who it books. The Danforth location carries that same identity in a neighborhood-rooted setting. It is the kind of room where you go to see someone before they are a household name, which is exactly the right framing for Martin Amini in 2026.
What to expect
The show runs approximately 90 minutes: 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), live crowd work that responds 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.
Toronto comedy context
Toronto has one of the best comedy cultures in North America — Just For Laughs Toronto, a deep local scene, and audiences who bring genuine expertise to the room. Comedy Bar specifically attracts crowds who are there because they actually care about stand-up, not because they stumbled in from dinner. Martin tends to over-deliver for audiences like this because the live show is substantially better than the clips.
