Beginnings episode 26: Hari Kondabolu

from Beginnings

Hari Kondabolu is a highly-accomplished stand-up who discusses race and class in a manner that is both funny and enlightening. He’s performed on numerous shows including Jimmy Kimmel, Live at Gotham and John Oliver’s New York Standup Show. He has his own Comedy Central Presents special and hosts a live monthly talk show with his younger brother Ashok, a member of the hip hop group Das Racist. He also has academic roots and earned his Masters in Human Rights from the London School of Economics. A few weeks ago, Hari sat down with us in the hot, cat-filled Wrestling Team apartment to discuss NHL ‘96, hack jokes, mean people as the root of comedy, high school stand-up, Comedy Cellar soda, a tentative comedy career, writing politically with a punchline, silence and Manoj appearing years before Randy. Plus we debut our new segment “What’s your pathology?”
