The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 137: Hasan Minhaj & The Mise En Scène of Comedy
The look and feel of a comedy special has been largely subtle, unadorned, and stripped down for a long time. Thankfully, that is starting to change thanks to folks like Bo Burnham and this week’s TCB Field Report guest, Hasan Minhaj. Fresh off the release of his latest, fantastic special The King’s Jester, we get into the finer points of how to redefine stand-up through reimagining how a special, arguably the pinnacle of a comedian’s work, can be done.
Follow Hasan @hasanminhaj across platforms and watch The King’s Jester, streaming now on Netflix.
