smoblifard-85481 He seems like your typical brown boy Russel Peters wannabe which is pretty much washed by the time he hits 30. He talks to whack to the point that even millennials will find him to be a retard. On the good side, he seems well informed, in being behind with capitalizing on brown jokes. This dummy is just "fool" of it. I could jerk off on world domination and drop better anal jokes than this tool.

Ersbel Oraph The guy works hard. He has an act close to Chris Rock. Even better polished, but that should go without saying because there is one generation of comics between them. The stories are well linked. And they are sensible. But funny? Sick. To laugh at his private dramas seems so cruel. Yet maybe the audience is right: they were sold a comic show, so why not laugh?Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

bob the moo Minhaj's recent turn at the Correspondent's Dinner made me check out this special, although I was wondering if he would simply be taking political shots, which at the moment is very much like shooting fish in a barrel. Before seeing him in this special I had quite liked him as a correspondent on The Daily Show, even if he didn't manage to break out of the shadow of some better than him – plus if memory serves me, he came in at the end of Stewart's time, which was not long before I stopped being a regular viewer. All that said, I was surprised by how much and how consistently I enjoyed this special.Delivered in his hometown, Minhaj has constructed a personal show that moves through a lot of ground, that serves as somewhat of an emotional roller-coaster, puts a lot of issues on the table, but remains consistently accessible and funny for those such as myself who do not have this frame of reference. Minhaj's timing and polish is of a very high standard, and he makes the show feel really professional and slick, but still keeps that sense of it being an honest performance with freshness and emotion. And it is a 'performance' more than a normal stand-up show. He moves around the stage well, and items such as screens and lighting are well timed around his performance. In the context of a filmed special, I also enjoyed the camera-work, as it knew how to move around him, when to go close etc – it was very well filmed and edited.Main thing though is that it engages and is funny throughout. Very much one worth seeing.

AlienByChoice You don't have to be a Muslim Indian immigrant to get Hasan Minhaj's Homecoming King. But you do have to be an immigrant.I've laughed my head off to Bill Burr and Jim Jeffries, nodded in agreement to Bill Maher, George Carlin and Bill Hicks, scratched my head and thought "damn, that's clever" to Mitch Hedberg, smiled and thought "that's funny" to Daniel Tosh and Louis CK.But never before was I able to relate to the comedian's narrative on such a personal deep emotional level, as I did to Hasan Minhaj. He is deep and insightful, able to focus on the little things that go unnoticed but that do matter so much. The flow of the show is impeccable, he goes from being emotional and almost philosophical to being funny just at the right moments, and he keeps you in the constant state of anticipation and curiosity. You don't feel like it's a comedy special you're watching. No, it feels like a good friend is telling you an amazingly interesting story, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always leaving you wanting more. And, most importantly, even though I don't agree with some of the stuff he says, I could relate to the things he was talking about. This lifted this show to a level much higher than a comedy special. It was a unique experience.10/10
