Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King

Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King (2017) is a one-man stand-up special you can watch online on iFILM. The former Daily Show correspondent turns the story of growing up brown in suburban California into 72 minutes of theatre.

Minhaj weaves bits about racism, immigrant parents and a brutal prom-night betrayal into something closer to a confessional play than a club set. It's funny, then suddenly it stings. Director Christopher Storer, who later created The Bear, shoots it with real momentum and never lets the laughs go slack. For anyone who likes stand-up that actually builds a narrative.
