Award-winning comedian Hasan Minhaj is making headlines & moving audiences with candor and comedy

Two-time Peabody Award-winning comedian HASAN MINHAJ is back with a brand-new one-man comedy show, The King’s Jester. The show is selling out major venues like Radio City Music Hall and touching on topics central to his life: fatherhood and freedom of speech. A consummate storyteller, Minhaj balances candid analysis of the world around us with comedy – from his critically-acclaimed Netflix series Patriot Act to his globally successful comedy special Homecoming King. In a profile for Cultured, Minhaj revealed the creative philosophy guiding his numerous high-profile projects – illuminating culture during dark times. Cultured describes him and his work as “equal parts microscope, telescope and megaphone,” and his perspective has been in-demand for events like The Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything Festival, Palo Alto Networks, Inc., the IU Union Board’s Lou Mervis Distinguished Lecture event, and Amplify 2022.

Minhaj is a sought-after creative whose influence is skyrocketing – he joined the cast of Apple TV’s The Morning Show for the second season, is voicing The Riddler on Spotify’s Batman Unburied as well as hosting its new live show King of the Court for the NBA finals, and launched his production company 186K Films, which is producing For the Culture with Amazon Studios. He has been featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, in The Hollywood Reporter, among many others, and his star power is undeniable. Minhaj has a gift for juxtaposing satire and sincerity, and keeps audiences laughing while raising awareness about important issues in one-of-a-kind keynotes and conversations.

Hasan Minhaj headlines the Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything festival

Since his time on The Daily Show, HASAN MINHAJ has been a comedic genius bringing forward issues of the day wrapped in brilliant and hilarious commentary. Featured in the Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything Festival, The Future of Creativity with Hasan Minhaj covers a wide range of issues, explaining how he leverages Patriot Act to address complex social issues, with humor and humility.

In an interview with the Journal, the host of the hit Netflix comedy series Patriot Act and two-time Peabody Award-winning comedian said “I try to be active and optimistic in my outlook”, which is why he sets the stage for his audience to take clear actions, should they feel inspired. Named to TIME's "100 Most Influential People in the World," Minhaj originally rose to prominence as a senior correspondent on The Daily Show. As Host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah wrote in TIME: "Patriot Act is the manifestation of Hasan’s whip-smart commentary, charisma and sincerity. It’s also a consistent reminder that Hasan is America. And America is Hasan.”

Be it a virtual keynote at a digital summit or a moderated discussion at an in-person conference, Hasan is the kind of speaker everyone wants to have at their event. He brilliantly pulls an audience in through dynamic universal stories that leave them with a new perspective on the topic and wanting to take action.
