La Jolla Playhouse is ecstatic to welcome audiences back to the theatre to see the brilliant and incisive comedian Hasan Minhaj in his brand-new piece Experiment Time. Hasan Minhaj will showcase and prepare new material for his new one man show in an intimate setting in this special engagement.

Hasan Minhaj is one of the most in-demand comedians on screen and stage today. He is best known as the host and creator of Netflix’s Peabody and Emmy Award-winning weekly comedy show Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj, the Netflix comedy special Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King and as a correspondent on The Daily Show from 2014-2018. His work is both hilarious and relatable, resonating with emotional clarity and cultural acumen. It’s a night not to be missed!

A PHONES-FREE EXPERIENCE
Experiment Time will run 70-80 minutes and is a screen-free experience. The Playhouse will work with Yondr to ensure a safe and sanitary protocol to secure devices, which will stay within your possession for the duration of the show. We look forward to sharing a cathartic, enthralling show with you in a device-free atmosphere.

Shows take place July 30 and 31 at 7:00 pm and 9:30 pm, and August 1 at 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm.
