I thoroughly enjoyed all of the comedians. Hari was awesome! I hope to see more of him in the future.
I had a great seat for the show. the floor seats in the center are 8 chairs and 2 small tables(4 on each side) for each "row". makes for tight seating if you don't know the folks in your row or the chairs behind you. the balcony seats are more "typical". the Wilber is amazing to see-great old theater. Glad to support to keep it open. the show itself was fantastic-would see them again. Could appreciate the jokes at my (white, midwesterner) expense. not offensive at all. was not expecting a 3 performer format but all 3 were funny.
Just want to read other peoples comments, mininmum characters
Super fun show, lots of political humor. Had a great time meeting the performers after the show too.
I have wanted to see Hari's show for months. His humor is thoughtful and relevant. He talks about real life issues that others are afraid to. The truth is hard but it's also hilarious with the right perspective. It's not a dog and pony show. This is intelligent and insightful political comedy in the realm of some of the best comedians like Richard Prior and George Carloin.
I enjoyed this show. Hari and his openers were fantastically funny. Hari in particular was good at balancing serious matters with really goofy ones. Thanks for this.
Not only was Hari hilarious as expected, his two openers were also very funny. All of us desperately needed a laugh after last week, and Hari did not disappoint. It was a very cathartic evening.
Humor and politics in perfect combination. In the days after the election, this wonderful comedian was balm for my traumatized soul.
Hari is an amazing individual and comedian! He is truly inspirational and downright hilarious - I was nearly brought to tears because I was laughing so much! MUST SEE!
Hari Kondabolu--really intelligent, thoughtful, incisive and FUNNY. Loved it.
If you're reading this, chances are you are at least slightly familiar with Hari Konbdabolu, maybe from the podcast "Politically Reactive," or his appearances on TV shows (or from his breakout role in the 2009 Sandra Bullock romantic comedy "All About Steve"). If not, you should definitely go check some of that stuff out first (eh, probably not the rom-com) and you will very quickly realize whether or not he is your cup of tea. The main thing I want to say is to people who are already familiar with him: if you like Hari, do yourself a favor and see his stand-up set. Like a socially conscious penguin gliding through arctic waters, Hari is at his most comfortable/adept in his natural environment: on a stage, with a mic in one hand, and a bottle of water on a stool next to him. His flow, timing, and delivery all reveal how much time he's spent refining his stand-up skills. Even though he opens his set by jokingly disclaiming that all the straight white dudes in the audience should prepare to be uncomfortable by the end of the show, unless you're a completely humorless Chad you'll be laughing the whole way through.
A comedy show where you don't have to cringe or roll your eyes at the racist/sexist/homophobic jokes?! YES PLEASE! Hari makes us laugh while challenging institutional racism, sexism and injustice. I wish he'd make it out to LA but it was worth the drive to SF to see him. :)
I took my brother (18) to Hari Kondabolu for his first comedy show. He had a blast and really enjoyed the atmosphere as well as one of our favorite comedians. Hari Kondabolu knows how to read an audience and respond to the themes that people seem to respond well to. The comedian who opened for him was hilarious as well. Definitely would recommend to others. As the closer, Hari did a bit that kind of mitigated heightened tensions for the white people in the room. Sitting next to an older white couple and an interracial couple, it really helped bring his message home and left everyone feeling lighter than the subject matter usually allows.
I'm sure longtime fans of Hari enjoyed this - being a newer fan, I had fun but wasn't dying laughing (like some).
Hari was funny. A bit of new stuff and a bit of old stuff. Definitely a bit of pandering to the audience, with a lot of political commentary and DC jabs. I really loved the opening act.
Haitians his opener was great. Really enjoyed the show. Hari needs a Netflix special. Dude is a great talent.
I was wiping tears from my eyes as I cried from extreme laughter!! LOL in real life with this excellent comic.
This was my second time seeing Hari and he's definitely one of my favorites.
Hari is awesome! hope he comes back plenty of times!
