Max Amini signs with UTA
Max Amini has signed with UTA for representation in all areas.
The comedian and actor is on a global tour in 2025, performing 150 sold-out shows in 19 countries, and will headline Madison Square Garden in February.
Thanks to co-signing from Jerry Seinfeld, Amini has become one of the fastest growing comics of 2025. His stand-up special on YouTube, “Randomly Selected,” has been viewed 16 million times. And he has more than 25 million followers and subscribers on social platforms. He specifically has a large footprint in India, which accounts for 32% of his global audience. With twelve sold-out shows in the region, the Iranian-American funnyman is the best-selling international comedian in India.
Outside of stand-up, Amini is the founder of Abstraction Media, a production banner under which he has directed and developed film, TV and documentary projects. In 2022, he directed the narrative feature film “James the Second,” a coming-of-age drama about a teenager with a rare condition that prevents him from feeling pain. And he directed the docuseries “Diaspora,” an anthology that spotlights the personal experiences of influential immigrants from around the world. Amini also directed Enissa Amani’s Netflix special “Ehrenwort” and helmed the car-focused reality series “MaxWheel” and a 24-episode talk show for Voice of America titled “Minutes With Max.”
His acting credits include NBC’s ‘Heroes’ and Rob Schneider’s Netflix sitcom ‘Real Rob’, in which he played Stalker Steve in nine episodes. Ten years before releasing “Randomly Selected” on YouTube, Amini released the special “Authenically Absurd,” directed by Schneider.
