Long-time fans of stand-up comedy have witnessed Hasan Minhaj’s remarkable growth over the years, as his tireless efforts yielded numerous successful specials, hosting stints, and a few controversies, alongside some notable Hollywood roles, most recently in It Ends with Us.
Undoubtedly one of the most hilarious figures online, Minhaj returns to Netflix with his latest stand-up special. Hasan Minhaj: Off With His Head is one hour long and a must-watch for everyone who needs a good laugh. Make sure you stick around to read our review of this latest release!
Hasan Minhaj Brings the House Down with Laughter
Loud cheers and a large crowd – there’s really no other way to welcome Hasan Minhaj as he films his latest Netflix special in San Jose. Right off the bat. Minhaj talks about the diversity in the crowd, but not racially, instead, financially.
He is off to a strong start in his special, as all eyes are on him for yet another successful stand-up special as he commands the stage.
Minhaj has always been a comic with relatable content, and in his audience, he points out that those sitting in the front rows are the 1%, the homeowners, and the landlords, meanwhile, those at the back are the 99%. Quickly, he also makes it clear that millennials and Gen Z will “never own homes.” Who better to give a reality check than Minhaj himself?
The housing crisis was only a small part of Minhaj’s special before he dives into politics, which should come as no surprise with the upcoming election as Donald Trump and Kamala Harris battle it out for the presidency. While Minhaj does briefly talk about the election, he also doesn’t hold back on the ongoing crisis involving Israel and its attacks.
Minhaj isn’t afraid of controversy, especially not when it comes to his stand-up material, and that’s been evident from his previous work, and he proves it once again in Hasan Minhaj: Off With His Head on Netflix. If there’s one comedian who will not and should not be censored, it is Minhaj, and this special will tell you why.
Minhaj talks about several topics in one hour and has left us amazed as to just how much one can fit into that space. From racism to white supremacy, to what brown parents’ greatest dream is – Minhaj talks about it all and earns plenty of laughter from his audience in San Jose. He almost doesn’t give people a minute to pause because it is one kicker after the other!
Conclusion
With a strong start and plenty of relatable comedy, Hasan Minhaj delivers yet another successful special on Netflix, and we would highly recommend adding it to your watchlist if you haven’t already!
