Comedian Hasan Minhaj coming to Lied Center in June [Video]

Peabody Award-winning comedian Hasan Minhaj will bring his new show “Off With His Head” to the Lied Center for Performing Arts on June 20.

Minhaj, one of today’s most vital comedy voices who takes on challenging themes like politics, parenting and therapy with irreverent wit, is best known for his breakout Netflix special “Homecoming King” and his critically acclaimed political satire show “Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj,” which won a Peabody, an Emmy and a Television Academy honor.

His second, one-hour Netflix special, “The King’s Jester,” premiered in October 2022.

Minhaj was a senior correspondent on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” and headlined the 2017 White House Correspondents Dinner. He’s the co-founder and chief executive officer for 186KFilms, which will produce its first feature, “For The Culture,” with Amazon Studios. Minhaj is co-writing the script with Prashanth Venkataramanujam and will star in the film.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at liedcenter.org, by phone …
