Excellent story teller

This isn't a regular standup, it's more an autobiographical sociopolitical commentary with humour sprinkled in. Hasan is an excellent and powerful story teller and he really paints out different life experiences and weaves them beautifully with sharp social commentary. I'm sure a lot of immigrants and especially South Asians might be able to relate to it. He's a good comedian too and the bit is definitely funny but it was definitely more commentary than humour and he doesn't quite have the Dave Chapelle flair of making the set as funny as it is powerful. And imo I think he mischaracterizes Bill Maher and the Ben Affleck fiasco but still a very good set overall.

Starts slow, but funny overall

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.

Awesome!

Loved it! It was innovative, funny, and personal. The humor and the stories were heart felt and I loved his use of pictures in the background to illustrate his stories. One of the best comedy shows I've seen in a while. I love humor that comes from real life stories. Its more relatable and hysterical. Enjoyed every minute of it.
