Hasan Minhaj’s second stand-up special The King’s Jester is frank (almost), flamboyant and furiously funny. It spells out Minhaj’s stint in the stand-up world — from the very first joke he ever cracked …‘I’m selling terrorism’... to being named one of the most influential people in the world by TIME magazine and why his comedy will always have a line, no matter what. The hour-long special sees snide political satire, the absurdity of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder, why “strategic acquisitions” may be synonymous with stealing and how the “jurisprudence of jokes” gives him the power (and confidence) to laugh about all of the above. If you’re a Hasan Minhaj fan or The Patriot Act die-hard, this is a must-watch!
