![[S2] Hari Kondabolu: Comedy Is Therapeutic but Not Therapy](https://onbeing.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/1500x1500_OnBeing_EpisodeArtwork.jpg?resize=320,320)
“My mom has a very dark sense of humor. I think that’s how I learned how to recycle pain.”
Hari Kondabolu is not your average stand-up comedian. He has a Masters in Human Rights and worked as an immigrants rights organizer — all of which you hear in his writing. His jokes simultaneously bring about discomfort and a nod of the head, without sounding preachy. He uses comedy as a coping mechanism for addressing complex issues of race, identity, and ethnicity post 9/11.
