Vacation Baby [1h2m] is Hari Kondabolu's most recent hour of stand up comedy, from earlier this year. It's about having a new baby during a pandemic. being Asian in America, and a lot of other stuff.
Hari previously, a couple weeks ago.
This is me trying to give him a platform that isn't tied to that other thing so maybe people can see his talent and not that one thing.

I loved this. I want to watch it again after I have a little time to forget it so it's extra funny all over again.
A couple of moments come to mind. His line about not being married to his partner, "Or as my mom tells her friends, we're married." Also it's just nice when a man talks about how he always wanted to be a dad. I love when comedians describe their look and Hari was no exception.
Also it is great how he can make something funny that's not really funny. His explanation for how to say his name isn't particularly funny, but he made the mundaneity (should be a word??) of his explanation and his not-that-great pronunciation guide funny anyway.

I'm looking forward to this. Is there some reason that standups are releasing full shows on YouTube? We just watched Lewis Black's excellent Tragically I Need You (on the Blue) and were surprised that it was free on YouTube.
I'm not complaining. I just hope these people are making some money.

That was a really fun set! I only knew him from the documentary so thanks for putting this on my radar.
