Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King (TV Special 2017)

Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King: Directed by Christopher Storer. With Hasan Minhaj. In his first stand-up special, Hasan Minhaj weaves humorous and heartbreaking anecdotes to tell his life story as an Indian-American Muslim. Topics include racism, bullying and meeting the demanding expectations of his immigrant parents.

“This is more of a one-man show than your typical stand-up comedy special. Instead of 25 different bits, Hasan tells different stories about his life, both hilarious and heartbreaking. It wouldnu0026#39;t work if his storytelling ability wasnu0026#39;t so brilliant, but his timing and ability to connect with the audience at each point are spot on. Even if you didnu0026#39;t grow up with immigrant parents, anyone who has ever felt like an outsider will identify with his stories.”
