<p class="">Born and raised in New York City, Kondabolu has performed his standup on such shows as the
<em class="">Late Show with David Letterman</em>, <em class="">Conan</em>, and <em class="">Jimmy Kimmel Live,</em> and has been a featured guest on
<em class="">Fresh Air with Terry Gross</em>, <em class="">Morning Edition</em>, and
<em class="">All Things Considered</em>, among others. </p>
<p class="">“When it comes to race, stand-up comedy has worked diligently to convince us that black and white people are fundamentally different,” writes Jason Zinoman at the
<em class="">New York Times</em>. “It’s the premise that has birthed a million jokes. Hari Kondabolu, an Indian-American performer who is one of the most exciting political comics in stand-up today, doesn’t merely reject that dichotomy. His jokes question race
itself.”</p>
<p class="">Free tickets to this event will be available exclusively to members of the MIT community
<a href="http://mit.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_effmeuPpo6BmcND" target="_blank" class="external">
via online lottery</a>, which will be open from September 20 through October 4.</p>
