Hari Kondabolu is a Brooklynbased comedian and writer who the NY Times has described as "one of the most exciting political comics in standup today." His new album Mainstream American Comic is a followup to his critically acclaimed debut Waiting for 2042, which was also released on legendary indie label Kill Rock Stars. Paste Magazine named the album one of the Top 10 StandUp Albums of 2014 and The Portland Mercury wrote that "the marriage of careful joke structure and fiercely intelligent commentary elevates this album from a collection of solid progressive punchlines to a work of art." It is currently on high school and college curriculums around the country.
