Hari Kondabolu is a very funny stand-up comic, an astute observer on race and racial politics, a writer and filmmaker, a Brooklynite and, most recently a dad. His latest special is out this week on YouTube. Filmed right here in Gowanus at the Bell House, “Vacation Baby” is some of his more personal work to date. In it, he discusses the surreal nature of having a baby in the middle of a global pandemic. Filmed days after Roe v Wade was overturned, though, he leaves nothing on the table in terms of his biting political wit.
