Hasan Minhaj’s “Homecoming King” Is How You’re Supposed To Comedy Special. From Now On, That’s How You Comedy Special

I’m not even going to ease y’all into this glowing recommendation. I’m getting straight to the run down so we can get straight to the bars. You may be familiar with Hasan Minhaj from the comedy scene, as a Daily Show correspondent, smackin’ the shit out of the Press at the 2016 Nerd Prom / White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, then hosting the WHCA in 2017, thereby following up the initial smack by bringing it right back around with the backhand this time around. Now, if you still don’t know Hasan Minhaj, you best get familiar and there’s no better way to do so then with his Netflix comedy special Homecoming King. Homecoming King is straight art, man. I just have to start with that first. I love comedy, all aspects of it. Now if you throw in elements of tragedy (Christopher Titus), political satire (Chris Rock), Brown / Black / POC Struggle (insert your fave)? Boooooi, don’t you threaten me with a good time, now. Minhaj takes all these elements in the kitchen, puts’em in that pyrex, and stars whipping that [comedic] crack for the masses. I’m not going to spoil the really real shit that gets thrown in that Minhaj hits you with about growing up a Brown muslim in Davis, California.

Nah, you gotta see this shit for that real. What I will say, is that a large base of his comedy centers on his father and mother moving to america as immigrants, his mother having to go back to their home country to finish med school, a few surprises along the way from that [won’t spoil it]…
