Even though I am white and only immigrated to the US when I was 27, I found Hasan's story extremely compelling and relatable. He is not only extremely funny, but a superb storyteller that keeps his audience engaged and entertained. The show has plenty of moments when you laugh your butt off while also giving important lessons through personal experience about life, love, bigotry, and trying to learn from our mistakes. I really, really hope we get to see more from this amazing comedian and I feel very sorry for the people who gave this 1 star.
The start of the show was slow, and had it not been for a friend's fierce recommendation, I would've stopped watching it after 10 minutes. But the slow start becomes irrelevant as the show progresses because it-is-funny.I understand that it's a little harder to appreciate his comedy if you're not of a South Asian background, as many of his jokes were, in fact, catered towards the South Asian audience. But there's bits and pieces for everyone, and it was simply hilarious overall.Not a waste of your time for sure.
This is my first time writing a review anywhere. But this compelled me to start. It's really sad how this amazing show went so thoroughly unnoticed. To be able to deliver such sad stuff with the kinda finesse that makes people smile instead of frown is an art in itself. It was funny..and real at the same time. A must watch for everyone.
Amazing special. Beyond just comedy, this guy takes it to another level. Everyone in America would benefit from watching this. He has a lot of laugh out loud parts and then some deeper moments. All in all its am excellent special and he leaves it all out on the stage. The time flies by and you will be wanting to see his next one.
