Pick of the Day: Hasan Minhaj: The King’s Jester (in NYC 2/25-2/27 & LA 4/24 & 4/26)
Hasan Minhaj’s stellar comedy special Homecoming King came out in 2017 on Netflix, which is awhile ago, but feels even longer for the seemingly interminable amount of time that has made up the last two years. Since that time, Minhaj made his presence known through his very own topical late night comedy show Patriot Act (we’ll always think that was a horrible call on Netflix’s part to cancel it) and then got a key role in the second season of The Morning Show. Oh yeah, he just launched his very own production company 186K Films and is building his own entertainment empire.
We’re thankful that doing stand-up/storytelling on stage is still part of that ascent as Minhaj is currently on tour with his brand new hour The King’s Jester. He’s touring throughout the country, but will specifically be stopping by Radio City Music Hall in NYC from Feb. 25th-27th (tickets for 25th still available) and coming around LA via Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa on Apr. 24th and Thousand Oaks’ Bank of America Performing Arts Center on Apr. 26th.
Tickets start around $45 and go up from there. You really ought to get them sooner rather than later, especially if you wanna snag ones at that price. Get tickets for all the aforementioned dates at hasanminhaj.com.
