Who Max Amini Is

He hosts the podcast Wild Truth with Max Amini. Bravo described him in July as having more than 9.8 million Instagram followers.
Bravo, citing Deadline, reports that Jerry Seinfeld called him “one of the hottest comedians to watch in the next generation of comedy”.
His 2026 tour plays Toronto in October, then Malta and Tirana, Albania, after Cairo in November, his website shows. In Toronto he plays the Scotiabank Arena on 18 October.

His website describes itself as the only source of ticket sales he endorses. It links to an authorised seller for most dated shows.
Getting to the New Administrative Capital
The New Administrative Capital is Egypt’s new government city, about 45 kilometres east of central Cairo. Ministries began relocating there from late 2021, and most staff moved in 2023.
Most visitors drive or use a ride-hailing app. The drive from central Cairo can take an hour or more on a weekday evening.
The late show starts at 22:30, so it will finish late. Plan the return trip before you go.
Buy only through TicketsMarché or the links on Amini’s website. Since all sales are final, check the date and time on your ticket carefully.
TicketsMarché, a Cairo ticketing platform, also sells local comedy nights, such as Comedy Lab at Theatro Arkan on 25 September. Its site lists events across Cairo by date.
The New Capital also hosts the British band Blue on 24 October, part of its 25th anniversary tour.
What Comes Next
The late show is Amini’s sixth in Cairo, and the other five are sold out. No seventh date had been announced by 24 September 2026.
Amini’s website flags sold-out showtimes, and TicketsMarché lists every Cairo show on one page. Both are worth checking if you missed out.
After Cairo, his website lists Malta on 22 November, at Republic Hall in the Mediterranean Conference Centre, and Tirana on 27 November.
