Hasan Minhaj, a talented comedian known for his role on the Emmy and Peabody award-winning program The Daily Show, has announced that the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College will be included on the national tour of his one-man show, Homecoming King. The show is set for Saturday, Oct. 22.
Tickets are $24 and $32 and went on sale this week. Early ticket purchase is recommended, as this show is expected to sell out.
Minhaj's critically-acclaimed Homecoming King recently returned Off-Broadway after a sold-out run in 2015. Homecoming King, the story of the "New Brown America," is based on true events from Minhaj's first generation East Indian-American experience. Navigating between two worlds, it follows Minhaj's arrival in the U.S., meeting his sister, interracial love, racism, bullying, and his family's quest to achieve the elusive American Dream.
Named a 2014 Just For Laughs "New Face," Minhaj was selected by the Sundance Institute to develop his solo show and feature film at the prestigious New Frontier Storytelling Lab. He is a featured storyteller for The Moth and hosted the documentary special "Stand Up Planet," produced by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. His viral web series, "The Truth with Hasan Minhaj," has been featured in numerous publications including, The Huffington Post, Gawker, and The New York Times. He has also been seen on a variety of television programs including Netflix's "Arrested Development," HBO's "Getting On," and "@Midnight on Comedy Central."
Tickets are available at www.durangoconcerts.com, by phone at 247-7657, or in person at the Ticket Office inside the Durango Welcome Center at Eighth Street and Main Avenue.
Hasan Minhaj is part of the Community Concert Hall's 2016-2017 performing arts series, which will go on sale July 8.
