As BroadwayWorld previously reported, HASAN MINHAJ: HOMECOMING KING, the theatrical debut of humorist and "The Daily Show" correspondent Hasan Minhaj, has announced a return engagement of the show at the Cherry Lane Theatre (38 Commerce Street, NYC). Directed by Greg Walloch, HASAN MINHAJ: HOMECOMING KING will return from January 7 - 30th. The show is produced by Mike Berkowitz and Mike Lavoie.

HASAN MINHAJ: HOMECOMING KING, the story of the "New Brown America," is based on true events from Minhaj's first generation Indian-American experience. Navigating between two worlds, it follows Minhaj's arrival in the US, interracial love, racism, bullying, and his family's quest to achieve the elusive American Dream.

"I've truly been overwhelmed and humbled by the amazing response this show has received," said Hasan Minhaj. "The story of the American Dream is everyone's story. Regardless of race, culture, creed, or class, everyone has felt like an outsider at some point in life. I'm thrilled that so many people have connected to stories of love, family, fear, and forgiveness."

Hasan Minhaj (Star/Writer) is a comedian, actor, and writer in New York. He is a correspondent on the Emmy and Peabody award-winning program "The Daily Show". A 2014 Just For Laughs 'New Face', he was selected by the Sundance Institute to develop Homecoming King and related feature film at the prestigious New Frontier Storytelling Lab.
