On May 14th, LinkTV, KCET, and Pivot will all be airing the stand-up documentary series Stand Up Planet that has host and great comedian Hasan Minhaj delving into how comedy finds its way into every corner of the world and how it opens up discussion on issues in places that most of us would think it would be near impossible to do so.
It features international comedy acts and comedians that you probably know and love from here in the U.S. such as Aditi Mattal, Mpho Popps, Loyiso Gola, Kagiso Lediga, Tanmay Bhat, James Adomian, Nate Bargatze, Michelle Buteau, and John Vlismas as well as the likes of legends Norman Lear, Carl Reiner, and Bill Cosby.
