Hasan Minhaj: Off with His Head

Funny and insightful. Connected with me as an Indian who is somewhat familiar with US, history and it's cultural idiosyncrasies in this period. I laughed a lot and got a bit emotional.

To be completely honest was also a bit annoyed by the extremely loud and manic performance. I know most of the emotional core of this performance relies on convincing us of his manic problems, but it just too damn loud. Else it would've been 9/10 for me.

PS: Compelled to write the review by the surprise of such lowly rated reviews (1/2/.... I mean everyone in the audience seemed to genuinely have a great time. I understand that it does not bear the genius of rich wordplay or the brilliantly observant (but safe) situational comedy of Seinfeld or LD. Nor does it exhibit the sheer brilliance in jokes, craft and effortlessness of Louis C. K. or the Chris Rock of old but it's good and well worth the watch.

Well it took me a minute to adjust my perspective, to open my mind as it were. I really enjoyed his performance, it was provocative to be sure. I am a firm believer that race and cultures will always find a way to be at odds from a narrow perspective. We're born and raised in an environment to protect ourselves from hate and harm from outsiders.

When someone so gracefully shines a bright light on all the idiosyncrasies without malice, it makes for great entertainment. A bit uncomfortable and threatening at first, a real skill in comedic delivery keep up the good work. You've got a new fan in me.

"Hasan Minhaj's *Off With His Head* isn't for everyone, and that's part of its charm. If you like your comedy bold and your tea strong, then you'll find a lot to savor here. Minhaj's energy can feel a bit intense, even overly rehearsed at times, but for fans, it's all part of his style-a mix of animated storytelling and hard-hitting punchlines. He doesn't shy away from digging into the intricacies of 'Beige-istan,' peeling back layers of what it means to be caught between cultures, and the truths he shares often sting as much as they entertain.

The show is cleverly crafted, with jokes and stories weaving seamlessly into each other, creating a narrative that's both deeply personal and widely relatable. Minhaj balances humor with vulnerability, addressing issues from identity and family to ambition and hypocrisy. While he toes the line between self-deprecating and self-aggrandizing, he ultimately lands on self-aware, giving the audience a fresh perspective on the immigrant experience.

For those willing to embrace his style, *Off With His Head* offers an insightful and unfiltered journey through Hasan's mind, one that may be too strong for some, in which case just don't watch it.

Who is giving this a 1 and why?? This guy is so funny and smart. Every line, every insight... funny, engaging. He manages to make very controversial points, without offending anyone.

Would love to know who is dissing this and why. Does he hit a nerve on racial subjects? I'm so confused that anyone could find him offensive.

I love all the insights on cultural issues.

I was engaged and entertained from beginning to end

The dog section is so spot on and funny.

Just guessing that there are conservatives offended with the swearing?

Audience is filled with highly entertained, engaged people... wish some of them would leave a review.

As a psychologist and someone in an interracial relationship, my husband and I were screaming laughing at Hasan's latest performance! His jokes about "boundaries" and "couples therapy" literally had tears rolling down our faces! The stereotypes were hilariously accurate based on our lived experience, and Hasan has made me proud to be an Indian-American. Anyone who doesn't think Off With His Head was comedic genius clearly doesn't understand the niche California/immigrant/millennial sense of humor. His crowd work was also incredible! I love how the immigrant archetypes were perfectly placed throughout the crowd. So so so funny. Hasan has done it again! A political genius.
