The Conrad Prebys Music Center has quickly become a celebrated spot for classical, jazz and dance offerings. On Feb. 8, the new venue adds comedy to the list with an appearance from Max Amini. As an actor, Amini has appeared on “Heroes” and other television programs. However, he first came to prominence as a comedian when he became a finalist on NBC’s “Diversity Showcase” in 2009, making his mark with his observational humor and impressions. Currently on tour through November, with shows from Canada to Australia, Amini pokes fun at the world around us, offering up good-natured laughs in the process.
Max Amini: Saturday, Feb. 8, at The Baker-Baum Concert Hall in the Conrad Prebys Music Center, 7600 Fay Ave. 8 p.m. Ages 16 and up. Tickets start at $28. Visit ljms.org.
