The Stranger’s deep affection for comedian Hari Kondabolu is well-documented, but to summarize: Hari is from Queens, lived in Seattle for a while, earned a graduate degree from the London School of Economics, considered a career in human rights, but decided to give comedy a try. Turns out, he’s really fucking funny. His jokes are sharply political without being pedantic—anyone who wants to talk seriously about race, class, and gender without sounding like a sanctimonious asshole should scrutinize the way Hari writes his jokes. Tonight, he will perform all new material. (Odd Duck Studio; 1214 10th Ave; www.brownpapertickets.com; 9 pm Mon 11/7, 7 and 9 pm Tues 11/8; $6 adv/$8 DOS; all ages)
