Martin Amini

Few comics take their unique life experiences and create amusing stories like Martin Amini, a comedian with a rare upbringing thanks to his Bolivian mother and Iranian father. The mix of those cultures, along with Amini’s clever observations, makes for a fantastic night of comedy.

Showtime is Saturday, Sept. 20, at 8 p.m. at the Borgata Music Box.

Smiley will begin sharing his famous comedy at 8 p.m. 

The laughs continue into October at the Borgata.

Dane Cook

The only limits for Cook’s talents at the Borgata are the far-reaching bounds of his imagination, as he has transformed multiple successful comedy albums into a film career, and now it’s your chance to see him live at the Borgata Event Center on Friday, Oct. 3, at 8 p.m. Critics and fans have applauded Cook’s boldness and edge as he remarks upon life in 2025.
