We've got comedian Martin Amini on the show this week! A friend of mine hailing from the DC area, this guy really is self made, he's been working hard promoting and starting his own rooms for a while now. Through sharing his stand-up clips on TikTok and IG, he has started to gain an international fan base and the recognition he has worked so hard for all these years. Check him out at a show near you! Get tickets to his special this November at Lincoln Theater in D.C.!
