supported by

मानस hari taught me that jerry meandering is a bad thing

hari taught me that Christopher Columbus was and still is a DEMON

emmy-nominated company's company taught me that asking him to stop talking about racism is like asking him to stop swimming while he's drowning Favorite track: Matthew McConaughey on Tolerance.

Monica His wit and humor are so on point, it's ridiculous. And yes, I watched The Last King of Scotland only because of this album. Favorite track: 2042 & the White Minority.

Sam Zucker Some of the best comedy I've heard in a while. Original and funny. This guy is awesome. Favorite track: Toby.

Adnan Arif Spotted his Letterman appearance for this CD and been a fan of his stuff since

Muhammad Seven Such a good standup hour. Probably the best political comedy of the last...well, maybe my favorite ever. As good as the best stand up hours out there: Louis, Sarah Silverman's "we are miracles", Amy Schumer's "cutting", Hannibal's stuff...Can't wait for new stuff from Hari. Favorite track: Mexican Stereotypes.

enoch kim // cnd9 Hari Kondabolu is the world's... second punk comedian but arguably the first one that matters. In between rip-roaringly funny routines Hari gets real about serious social issues with an authentic and energetic flair that is uniquely Hari Kondabolu. Favorite track: Weezer Broke My Heart.
