After a misleading 2023 New Yorker article claimed he had fabricated stories about racism in his previous stand-up specials, Hasan Minhaj took a beat before responding with a video corroborating his side of the story — complete with graphics.
In 2024, he returned to the stage with new stand-up material to defend his honor as a storyteller. “I got caught embellishing for dramatic effect,” he explains to the audience. “Same crime your aunt is guilty of over Thanksgiving.”
Minhaj is sharply intelligent, yet he exudes warmth and good humor as he tackles race, class and politics. He even defines a new sub-culture of Americans: “There’s white America. There’s Black America. Then there’s Beige-istan. That’s just everybody. Indians, Latinos, Filipinos, wherever the f*** Bruno Mars is from. Beige-istan.” Minhaj holds nothing back, skewering both the left and the right with scathing, yet undeniably accurate, observations.
Hasan Minhaj: Off With His Head is streaming on Netflix.
