It's not everyday that you see a comedian deliver a comedy special on the illusion of freedom of speech with such clarity. But then again, it's not everyday that you get to see Hasan Minhaj release a special.

Paste Magazine

In theory, The King’s Jester could be a compelling comedy special. In reality, it falls short thanks to Minhaj’s exaggerated and repetitive delivery.

Rated: 6.5/10

In this special, he [Minhaj] remains in full control of the audience, masterfully pulling “awwwws” and applause breaks out of them with the greatest of ease.

Few comics could segue this seamlessly from a harmless joke about a swol Kumail Nanjiani putting all brown people to shame to making a grand, sweeping statement about how comedy is a matter of life and death.

Minhaj's animated style of storytelling is deceptively intricate, even if it appears like a man going off the rails with pop-culture references. Each line seems to have been refined & rehearsed through scores of performances.

Rated: 4/5

[Minhaj] knows exactly where to ramp up the energy, just like he knows exactly when to shut up and let mental images waft over his audience as he whips into Blackbox theater mode, dissecting the cost of being a jester who makes a mockery of the court.

Everything he presented as factual events that he experienced is fabricated. I feel duped…

Hasan Minaj does exactly what he sets out to do, jumps from satire to drawing empathy on a dime. An excellent story-teller, and a thought-provoking inspiration to activists & family men alike.

I love Hasan, but this was like being clubbed over the head with earnestness over and over. I honestly wish he would lean more towards the comedy and away from the dramatic close-ups.

Fantastic. Hasan is so good at bringing you into his world, and just when you think you're about to cry, he hits you with a punchline that does the very opposite and makes you LOL
