New York-based comic Hari Kondabolu preps for every stand-up performance the same way: drinking lots of water, peeing and pacing.
“It just felt like I had this major life thing happen, and I had so much to talk about from those two years of the pandemic,” he said. “And I’m just sitting on it waiting for what exactly? For a network to give me the right to say what I want to say publicly?”Alongside the special, Kondabolu will release an accompanying album on the music streaming services and will self-release a digital album, “ Vacation Baby,” on Bandcamp.
Named for his son, who was born during the pandemic but conceived just before lockdown, the special “Vacation Baby” is a nontraditional release and a gamble for Kondabolu, who says he’s no stranger to betting on himself.I knew I wanted to do comedy when I saw Margaret Cho on TV. Seeing an Asian American person do stand-up, even though she wasn’t Indian, was incredible to me. She had command of an audience, she was sharing her stories, people were laughing. I didn’t think that was even possible.
