Since a lot of you have been finding my posts to be heavy on the seriousness (and use of the word “On” in my titles), I thought I would mix it up with a little light-hearted stand up comedy featuring a video segment by Andhra’s own (by way of Queens) Hari Kondabolu. Already present on our list of notable diasporic Telugus, Hari featured as a writer and frequent performer on an American national comedy show called Totally Biased.

Specializing in speaking truth to power, Hari is known to mock comedians who focus on making hay of their ethnic background. Instead, he centers his humor around political issues–even anti-colonialism. In the clip above, he’s able to deftly skewer racism all while basking in a little bit of Indian-American spelling bee glory (fellow Andhrite Snigdha Nandipati won in 2012).

Kudos Mr. Kondabolu–we eagerly expect to see more of you in the future on the American and international stages–not to mention ACP blog posts…

You can follow Hari via his blog and twitter handle. Enjoy…or as Velugu Thalli would say “Kadupaara Bhujinchandi”…
