Talent and entertainment company United Talent Agency (UTA) has announced the worldwide signing of Enissa Amani. Amani will explore possibilities across film, television and touring, with an eye to developing her business in the Middle East and English-language markets.

Amani is a multilingual stand-up comic, writer and actress. Born in Iran, she was raised in Germany, where she studied Law and later pursued a passion for novel writing.  She began stand-up comedy in 2014 and her television debut – a five-minute stand-up performance on a German late night show – generated over five million views in its first few days.  Fluent in German, Farsi, English and French, Amani has been cited as the voice of a new German generation. Her experience as an immigrant and geopolitical issues are central to her material and often are at the center of viral trends and topics on social media.

In 2018, Amani became the first woman in Europe with a Netflix Original comedy special titled, Ehrenwort. As a result of her tremendous success, Netflix quickly released a second special only eight months later titled, Comedian Goals.

Additionally, Amani has developed, written and produced two hit television series for ProSieben.

She will continue to be represented by Erhan Dogan and Claude Leyer.
