Hari Kondabolu
Part of Hancher's Infinite Dream festival
A sharp—and sharp-edged—political comedian cuts through the day’s issues with keenly funny insight.
A comedian you can find on all the best “best of” lists—Time, Paste Magazine, Cosmopolitan, E! Online, and Mashable—and who was named one of 2018’s “Comics to Watch” by Variety, Hari Kondabolu is both charming and unafraid. His Indian identity (in 2017, his documentary The Problem with Apu took aim at representation on The Simpsons), his high-wattage intelligence, and his hard-hitting punchlines come together to hilarious effect each time he steps on stage.
“[H]ilarious comedy closely tied in to today's not-so-hilarious headlines. You will go to this and you will laugh and then you will laugh some more and then you will think about it for days afterward.” — Portland Mercury
