Comedian Max Amini with Ali Karimi, his mother, and artists in the U.S.
Strong women are very good partners in life. I feel that I would like to be with someone from whom I can learn something, and we both feel that we are helping each other equally intellectually and spiritually. My father had a very good sense of humor and was a very strong person in terms of humor, and he was always the most talkative person at parties and friendly gatherings. My mother was also a very loving person, and she always encouraged us to be good to everyone and to love our colleagues. These qualities and my mother’s words have helped me a lot in this way, in all the moments that I am on stage and performing. The most attractive and best moments of my work are those moments when I endure all the hardships. I work for 80% of my life, and for the 20% I am on stage, I love that stand-up comedy is becoming very big in Iran, and the best come from I don’t have a particular person in mind to introduce right now, but I like all of their work, and I want stand-up comedy to be encouraged in the right way.
