Hasan Minhaj is a California native of Indian descent whose show “Patriot Act” which was presented on Netflix, won two Webby Awards and two Peabody Awards. However, this was not his first Peabody. “Homecoming King,” his first stand-up special, won the award in 2018.
Minhaj got interested in comedy in college when he saw “Never Scared,” Chris Rock’s special. He began performing in San Francisco, and won Wild 94.9’s “Best Comic Standing” contest in 2008.
In 2009, he relocated to Los Angeles and began a television career, appearing on such shows as “Failsophy” and “Disaster Date,” both on MTV, and “Getting On” and “Arrested Development.” In 2014, Minhaj joined “The Daily Show,” where he worked from 2014 to 2018 as its senior correspondent.
In 2018, he left The Daily Show to host his Peabody-winning show, “Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj,” which netted him the two Peabody Awards, as well as Time Magazine’s listing of him as one of its “100 Most Influential People in the World.”
A review says:
“Excellent show with Hasan Minhaj! He was funny, charming, irreverent and smart. Laughed out loud with my hubby. One of the best comedy shows I’ve seen. Well done!”
Hasan Minhaj will appear at the Civic Theatre in San Diego’s downtown on April 19 and 20. When this type of event is on the schedule, organizers can use brochure printing to create informative programs.
