“It’s wonderful. You’re going to laugh. Probably cry. Because you, unlike me, can still feel.” –Jon Stewart

“One of the most authentic voices to come onto the storytelling scene in years. Above all else, Hasan is a master storyteller.” –Catherine Burns, The Moth

Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King is the debut solo show of comedian Hasan Minhaj (‘The Daily Show’) directed by Greg Walloch.

Homecoming King, the story of the “New Brown America,” is based on true events from Minhaj’s first generation Indian-American experience. Navigating between two worlds, it follows Minhaj’s arrival in the US, meeting his estranged sister, interracial love, racism, bullying, and his family’s quest to achieve the elusive American Dream.

Building off the popularity of ‘Prom’ on NPR’s ‘The Moth Radio Hour’ his stories on race, identity, and forgiveness garnered critical acclaim at Sundance’s prestigious New Frontier Storytelling Lab.

Based on true events from Hasan’s life, the show has a corresponding featurette Fight Through The Pick discussing bullying and racism in high school and art gallery The New Brown America curated by acclaimed illustrator and painter Sam Spratt.

**PLEASE NOTE: The show contains some instances of coarse language – parental discretion is advised. NO LATE SEATING.**
