This show is awesome! Not your typical stand up special, but Hasan has constructed a fantastic way to tell his story that is both hilarious and touching at the same time. Try to ignore the zero star reviews from racist Fox News viewers.

This is my first time writing a review anywhere. But this compelled me to start. It's really sad how this amazing show went so thoroughly unnoticed. To be able to deliver such sad stuff with the kinda finesse that makes people smile instead of frown is an art in itself. It was funny..and real at the same time. A must watch for everyone.

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.

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.
