Hari Kondabolu is a Brooklyn-based, Queens-raised comic who has been described by Timeout NY as "smart, analytical and rising." The Seattle Times wrote that he was "a young man reaching for the hand-scalding torch of confrontational comics like Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor." Like his comedic heroes, Hari Kondabolu wants to speak truth to power with confrontational and personal material. Unlike them, he does not want to die of a morphine overdose or set himself on fire. null

When in New York City, he co-hosts the mostly improvised talk show The Untitled Kondabolu Brothers Project with his younger brother Ashok, aka "Dap" from hip hop group Das Racist. He also wrote the cover story for Spin Magazine about Das Racist last November.
