Hasan Minhaj: I've Got a Sister?
When most people visit India, they bring back the usual mementos and souvenirs: tapestries, bronze figures, saris. But a new family member? When Stand Up Planet host Hasan Minhaj was eight years old, his parents surprised him by introducing him to a younger sister who had been living in India, who he had no idea existed. Think he reacted maturely? Think again.
Stand Up Planet showcases an uprising of fresh and fearless comics around globe, changing the world one joke at a time.
