Ersbel Oraph The guy works hard. He has an act close to Chris Rock. Even better polished, but that should go without saying because there is one generation of comics between them. The stories are well linked. And they are sensible. But funny? Sick. To laugh at his private dramas seems so cruel. Yet maybe the audience is right: they were sold a comic show, so why not laugh?Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

Six Seven Although I did watch the whole thing, I've got to say that he lets his personal experiences with the 'bad stereotype' white people govern the direction of his comedy. That got old about halfway through. It just wasn't STAND-UP... it was like a narrative you'd hear on NPR radio, which granted isn't BAD, but it wasn't what I expected (or wanted).

AlienByChoice You don't have to be a Muslim Indian immigrant to get Hasan Minhaj's Homecoming King. But you do have to be an immigrant.I've laughed my head off to Bill Burr and Jim Jeffries, nodded in agreement to Bill Maher, George Carlin and Bill Hicks, scratched my head and thought "damn, that's clever" to Mitch Hedberg, smiled and thought "that's funny" to Daniel Tosh and Louis CK.But never before was I able to relate to the comedian's narrative on such a personal deep emotional level, as I did to Hasan Minhaj. He is deep and insightful, able to focus on the little things that go unnoticed but that do matter so much. The flow of the show is impeccable, he goes from being emotional and almost philosophical to being funny just at the right moments, and he keeps you in the constant state of anticipation and curiosity. You don't feel like it's a comedy special you're watching. No, it feels like a good friend is telling you an amazingly interesting story, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always leaving you wanting more. And, most importantly, even though I don't agree with some of the stuff he says, I could relate to the things he was talking about. This lifted this show to a level much higher than a comedy special. It was a unique experience.10/10

Niclescu does someone laugh?!? it is a good for nothing comedy! i tried to stand this film, but I did not even smile. Even the audience was laughing a lot. why? a Muslim guy is telling us his life. that is all. he is laughing alone, the others are laughing with no sense. this is the comedy? no! it is the nothingness!
