World-renowned comedian Max Amini met with Üsküdar University students and delivered an unforgettable stand-up show.
Amini, who made the youngsters burst into laughter with his energy on stage and witty narrative, shared the secret of comedy by saying, "What makes a joke funny is relatability. The boundary is a very delicate issue. Because what seems offensive to one nation might be very normal to another. My intention is to make people happy, not to hurt anyone's feelings."
American stand-up artist Max Amini, who organizes world tours, visited NPİSTANBUL Hastanesi and met with Üsküdar University students, chatting with them and once again captivated the hearts of his fans in Turkey with this special gathering at Üsküdar University.
Max Amini took the stage at the Ibn-i Sina Auditorium within the NP Health Campus in Ümraniye for Üsküdar University students and spent an enjoyable day with them.
Golden Advice to Students
Starting his show with an enjoyable interview with the students, Amini gave important advice to young people that would guide their lives. "Find out who you are and research it deeply. Those who don't read books fall behind. The more you express, the more you share, the more friends, deeper friends you will find. Please spend time with artificial intelligence every day and develop these skills so you don't fall behind. Follow your passions," said Amini, and against family pressure, he gave the message, "Find a balance, give them love but also prioritize yourself."
Amini, humorously asking "Who is the best comedian in the world?", was met with cheers of "Max Amini!" from the audience.
My intention is to make people happy!
When asked where he draws the line in his jokes, Amini explained the secret of comedy with these words:
"What makes a joke funny is relatability. You can connect with it, right? So, first, there's relatability. Now, where is the boundary? The boundary is a very delicate issue. Very delicate. Because what seems like an insult to one nation might be very normal to another. But I can say this: if an artist's intention is good, even if the outcome touches that person, you know, it's understood. I think you should have a kind soul and put yourself out there fearlessly. I know my own boundaries. And I play up to the line, because as a comedian, if you don't push the boundary, it's not funny. If I come out and say very basic things, then you'd say, "Oh, this comedian is so boring." My intention is to make people happy, not to hurt anyone's feelings."
Max Amini, a graduate of UCLA's Theater, Film, and Television department, who began his career in 2002, toured the hospital and university campus after the show, chatted with students, and once again captivated the hearts of his fans in Turkey with this special meeting at Üsküdar University.
