Born and raised in New York City, Kondabolu has performed his standup on such shows as the Late Show with David Letterman, Conan, and Jimmy Kimmel Live, and has been a featured guest on Fresh Air with Terry Gross, Morning Edition, and All Things Considered, among others.

“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 New York Times. “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.”

Free tickets to this event will be available exclusively to members of the MIT community via online lottery<http://mit.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_effmeuPpo6BmcND>, which will be open from September 20 through October 4.
