This is by far the best comedy I have seen in recent years. I love Hassan's energy and eloquence. He is one of the few comedians you would watch without getting bored. I am in awe of how could talk like that. I have always had difficulty explaining my thought and ideas clearly and concisely, and I pay a great deal of attention when I watch stands ups or movies. Hassan is one of the few comics who checks those boxes. I have never seen him stumbling on words or stammering. I use to think Homecoming king was a pinnacle of comedy but this surpasses it by a mile. Highly recommended. Check out his other work if you haven't already.

I wish I were half eloquent and hilarious as he is.
Really not that funny at all for a stand-up special.
If this were a Ted Talk or a Commencement Speech this would deserve a 8 on 10. It's basically Hasan talking about his personal experiences which cast a light on issues pertaining to family, religion, politics, social discrimination etc etc, interspersed with with some funny, and quite often cliched jokes too far and few in between.
For a stand-up special, this just wasn't witty or funny or original enough at all. I mean he's literally talking about things that happened to him, and in many ways it's just self-gratifying.
Really expected something much more than this. His episodes of Patriot Act provide more laughs than this.
