In this episode of NextPlay, Milan interviews one of his childhood role models, the legendary Iranian-American stand-up comedian, Max Amini.
Max has been bringing joy to his audiences through the art of comedy for years, and he now uses his comedic talents to push the envelope on many socially relevant topics of today. He’s a multi-hyphenate creator, a graduate of UCLA’s film program, and an all-around character whose commitment to storytelling seeks to shift perspectives and preconceived notions.
Milan and Max discuss a wide range of topics in this interview, including the challenges of being a Middle Eastern creative, his advice to young comedians, and his newest film project.
