Hasan is a fantastic comedian. The show felt like a conversation! He shaped it to our location, specifically, while also commenting on national and world issues. His personal notes created connection, and his humor kept us laughing start to finish.
For context, we saw the 2nd showing of the night that started way past when it was supposed to due to crowding issues at the entrance. Took way too long to get people in the venue. This show seemed like it was out of gas. Maybe because it was the second showing, or maybe because it was just how this experience was expected to go. Unlike his previous shows, there wasn’t a lot of structure to it. Callbacks had a harder time landing than normal, topics didn’t flow too well, and some of it leaned too awkwardly into the “late show means we get the weird people!” commentary. The show overall had plenty of stuff to laugh at, but it didn’t feel like a cohesive experience. Compared to his past shows, this one was really missing that one thread that ties everything together.
Hasan and his openers were amazing! However, those who arrived interrupted the opening acts. I missed over 50% of the female opener because of people coming in late and fumbling to find seats. Other than that, I had a great time at the show.
This was my first time seeing Hassan despite being a fan for some time now. The show started a little late, but it was worth the delay! He was full of energy, seemed to really enjoy what he was doing, and it showed big time! I had to massage my face from laughing so much much and so long! Best performance I’ve been to in a minute! Will definitely see him next time around!👌😁
I really enjoyed the show! You can really tell the difference between a professional comedian and someone who started and Hasan is legit. Definitely would recommend! (just be aware you’ll wait two or three blocks away if you aren’t early for the second show and when you are waiting in your seat for the show to start you can’t use your phone due to the bags they put them in)
Attended second evening performance. First show ran late, which pushed back start of second show my more than an hour and cut into seeing opening acts, etc. Understandable if it’s an error, but comments from folks in line, and made by performer on stage, make me think it happens for this performer repeatedly. Venue and ticketing companies should anticipate and mitigate better if that’s true.
Totally waste of time do not waste your money. He was just not prepared.
Powerful and unique experience for those who identify as Asian American. Explored the nuances of cultures in a funny, yet balanced way. I have not seen someone able to capture these unique experiences in the same way as Hasan Minaj...with so much wit and character. Pokes fun of racial stereotypes in a self-deprecating way. Helped me understand South Asian culture in a deeper way
Another excellent show by Hasan, full of immigrant jokes, Indian jokes, Asian jokes and white people jokes. Please come back to nyc soon
Everything sucked about this show. What a waste of money. Radio City, the venue, treated you like we were going into Fort Knox to experience a God-awful show. The DJ stunk and slammed us for being too high-end for the working class, and Hasan Minhaj did the same. Oh, by the way, the Sight & Sound DJ was a comedian, too. He needs to perfect his talent on one before he does both. Hasan don't wing it spend some time to write some jokes that work. I would not recommend the show to future visitors. Radio City, you have no cellphone, and smartwatch policy is overkill, but it did save Hasan's horrible show from getting on social media, so I can see why he booked the venue.
Hasan minhaj continually puts on a great show. He’s hilarious and smart in all the right ways. Definitely recommend his shows!
Not a dull moment for even a second! He killed it!
Really liked the show. Great overall experience. The second act I felt was slightly lacking and I do wish Hasan Minhaj's act was a bit longer. But in all everything flowed nicely and was enjoyable.
Sights and Sounds was a solid DJ, but his energy didn't match the NYC crowd, which made for predictably hilarious results. The second standup was okay. Hasan was incredible, told great stories, and perfectly touched on the controversies in the funniest way.
Hasan was incredible. Glad he actually addressed the ridiculous press about him. His set felt so loose like he took a huge weight off of his shoulders. “Don’t police comedy”!
I still love Hasan, although I was hoping for another Patriot Act type event. He's still politically outspoken, but now he's angry and some of the material is more ordinary than inspired and educational.
Hasan Minhaj is wonderfully talented! This was an amazing show. I'm so glad I went.
Maybe I'm spoiled by his scripted work on TDS and Patriot Act, but I didn't laugh as hard as I expected. Was the 10p show and maybe he was trying new material, but it just didn't have the polish I expected. Still love him, just wasn't my favorite show.
New show is just sickkkkkkkkkk. Hasan puts it together deftly. Go see it!!
