Joker Time 2 is a 2025 Iranian comedy title directed by Ehsan Alikhani, running 58 minutes and drawn from the hit Joker comedy competition series. Continuing the original Joker Time collection, it revisits the show's core game — a rotating cast of Iranian celebrities trying to crack each other up without laughing themselves — the format that made the franchise a favorite among Persian-speaking audiences worldwide.
What is Joker Time 2 about?
Picking up where the first Joker Time collection left off, Joker Time 2 gathers standout moments from the Joker competition, where a rotating lineup of Iranian celebrities faces the same deceptively simple challenge: make everyone else laugh, and don't laugh yourself. The film moves through a series of stand-out rounds, each one built around a contestant's turn as the designated Joker, trying every trick to break the group's composure before time runs out. Rather than following a single protagonist, it works like a highlight reel — one performer after another steps into the spotlight, tests the room, and pushes until someone cracks. The tone stays playful and competitive, built on the same celebrity dynamics and everyday references that resonate with Iranian viewers both inside the country and in the diaspora. At 58 minutes, the pacing is tight, and the film makes every minute count without overstaying its welcome.
About the cast
Joker Time 2 is directed by Ehsan Alikhani, who also directs the original Joker series it draws from. Alikhani is one of Iranian television's best-known hosts and producers, and the Joker franchise — built around celebrities trying to make each other laugh without laughing themselves — is among his most talked-about productions. No additional cast credits were provided in the production notes for this title.
Context & significance
Iranian comedy titles occupy a unique place in diaspora viewing habits. For Iranians living abroad — in Canada, the US, Europe, and beyond — watching familiar humor delivered in Persian is a way to stay connected to a cultural sensibility that does not translate easily into other languages. The Joker Time series belongs to a tradition of celebrity panel-comedy productions that have found a loyal following outside Iran precisely because the material speaks to shared references: family dynamics, bureaucratic absurdity, generational clashes, and the comedy of everyday life. Joker Time 2 continues that tradition in a compact, accessible format that works equally well on a TV screen or a phone during a commute.
