Hari Kondabolu | Vacation Baby (Full Comedy Special)

#HariKondabolu #VacationBaby #StandUpComedy #Comedy #ComedyVideo
Comedian Hari Kondabolu discusses the strange and unique experience of having a kid during a global pandemic. From living in a studio apartment in Brooklyn to reluctantly moving to San Diego for the baby’s birth, we see all the challenges he and his partner overcame to create a child… and eventually, this special. Filmed just days after Roe v Wade was overturned, this special is both personal and political. Additionally, he discusses topics that range from loving dark chocolate as proof of aging to the absurdity of white replacement theory to the horrible truth behind Curious George.

We didn't forget . For Apu .

I would've said, "having a kid during the pandemic is like buying a Groupon ticket onto the Titanic " And just left it there.

[@melpomeneb-smith3955]

wouldn't really work as a runner though eh

[@kannaiahkannaiah3821]

This wonderful guy has a video with the late bellhooks before she passed away. Congratulations, Hari - it is so good to see you working and happy!

I’m super glad he didn’t have a video with her after.

I was at this show. Sat in the front row and had a great time. Waited a long time to see it again.

Saw it in Detroit, jealous I didn’t get the taping!

Love this guy. He gets better with age. Congrats on his becoming a parent. Can't wait til his next special.

[@HariKondaboluOfficial]

I get better with age like a fine whine.

[@markbradley4172]

He is no Hank Azaria.

[@transformerstuff7029]

@@HariKondaboluOfficial This unfunny guy's carreer highlight is cancelling apu. Now he does unfunny stand-up. What a sad little man. Nice stereotypical jokes btw, kind of in the same breath as the Apu writing on the simpsons was.......yet you had him cancelled. What a hypocrital petty weak little man you are. Nice though. 1 month out 2,5kupvotes and 764 down. LMAO what a loser carreer.

[@ErichoTTA]

​@@HariKondaboluOfficial I was called gay all the time as a kid. I will now make a documentary about how we should get rid of gay people like Apu.

I watched Hari perform this set in Buffalo last year, sublime to rewatch again - the whole place went hysterical on AOC closer

[@roses2ndborn]

Loved it! He’s hilarious 😂

They way you stuck the landing at the end with finally finding the perfect metaphor was *chef kiss*! However as a baseball nerd, that Moneyball joke really hurt my feelings 😔

The Bugle brought me here, and I am so happy it did! Fantastic show!

[@jedipat204]

He introduced himself 😂

[@rayazkhan9498]

I expected him to have a joke about it and I was a little disappointed there wasn't one!

[@rtrowbridgedixon]

THANKS for posting this! I’ll be there when you come to L.A.

[@hikermom2193]

This is great!

[@cerumen]

If this doesn't have you singing a parody of Scandalous by Mis-Teeq with lyrics about having a vacation baby, I'm going to be disappointed

[@MichaelLasotaTW]

The AOC thing was similar to something that happened to me as well! ;) That bites.

[@imranhusain6087]

Hari is not kidding when he says he's popular on the coasts, and where people listen to NPR. I found out about this special when Hari appeared on NPR's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" yesterday. And I live on the California coast! Great special!

[@Scott_G]

I've never heard of this dude, but I'll be looking out for his work now. Really funny guy. Thanks 800PGM

[@onyecheonobu]

If you can, listen to his album Waiting for 2042. It’s older but it’s good

[@heyhabib]

Really enjoyed that. I've done stand up comedy. I was appalling. I might try botany. Thanks owed to a Sofie Hagen tweet for bringing me here. Namasthe.

​@@KZbinsucksdonkeyballs no he has other great sets and has found success

[@YouTubesucksdonkeyballs]

@@Itsant33 no, all his sets are not really funny and the undeserved success he has achieved are on the back of a bunch of negative attention he brought to a beloved Simpsons character that was ultimately killed off because this self righteous so-called ‘comedian’ cant take a joke..

@@KZbinsucksdonkeyballs no wonder people are laughing and this isn't his first special but sure

[@carolkology4202]

I enjoyed your show soo much, thank you. Comedy has kept me sane. I learned and laughted and felt relief as you spoke candidly about real issues and the tragity of trump. how i watched gut gripped with tension , with no relief. that verbal hook referencing having a baby during the pandemic was a cathartic release and hit my gut as i remembered the horror, which no one has the nerve to talk about. thank you.

How ‘bout “it’s like buying real estate in Warsaw as the Germans roll in?”
