Though born and raised in New York City, Hari Kondabolu was a Seattle local from 2005-2007 and was described by the Seattle Times as "a young man reaching for the hand-scalding torch of confrontational comics like Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor." The Stranger has even called him, "a national comedy treasure."

In 2012, Hari performed on Conan and two episodes of John Oliver's NY Standup Show on Comedy Central. He has also performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Live at Gotham and has his own Comedy Central Presents half-hour special, which debuted in February 2011. He is also a regular on UK television appearing on BBC3's Russell Howard's Good News and Live at the Electric, as well as Channel 4's 8 out of 10 Cats.
