Director: Ehsan Alikhani
Joker Time 2 is a 2025 Iranian comedy film directed by Ehsan Alikhani, clocking in at 58 minutes of fast-paced sketch and stand-up energy. A follow-up to the original Joker Time, it brings back the irreverent humor and rapid-fire comic format that made the first installment a word-of-mouth favorite among Persian-speaking audiences worldwide.
What is Joker Time 2 about?
Picking up where the first chapter left off, Joker Time 2 assembles a new collection of comedic vignettes, absurdist premises, and live-audience moments that push the format further. The film moves through a series of loosely connected segments, each one designed to land its punchline before the next begins. Rather than following a single protagonist, it works like a comedy showcase — performers take the stage, establish a situation, and escalate it until the crowd breaks. The tone stays playful and self-aware, poking fun at everyday frustrations 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.

Context & significance
Iranian comedy films 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 sketch-and-stand-up hybrid 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.
Where & how to watch
Joker Time 2 is available on K-Time with Persian subtitles. You can watch on the web, your Android TV, or your phone — no VPN needed, no geo-blocking, and you can cancel anytime.
