Overview

Quotes Logo Hasan Hates Ronny | Ronny Hates Hasan brings two of comedy's sharpest minds to San Jose Civic for an unforgettable night of heated debate and biting social commentary. This is not a traditional co-headlining tour where comedians vacation together—Hasan Minhaj and Ronny Chieng genuinely despise one another, and they're channeling that animosity into a no-holds-barred live spectacle where they air grievances about America, politics, family values, and each other with ruthless precision.

The format is pure comedic chaos: imagine CNN's Presidential Townhall reimagined as a race to the bottom with zero decorum. Minhaj and Chieng will face off on America's most urgent issues—Presidents, war, the economy, immigration, infrastructure, food, dating, and the impending race war—turning civic discourse into petty, hilarious combat. San Jose Civic, a premier entertainment venue in the heart of California's tech capital, provides the perfect stage for this provocative 19-city tour that celebrates hatred as the ultimate love language.

Know Before You Go

This event is recommended for ages 13 and up. San Jose Civic is located at 135 West San Carlos Street, San Jose, CA 95113. Attendees should review the venue's visitor FAQs, which include a complete list of prohibited items before arrival. Multiple performances are scheduled across December 17-18, 2025, with show times at 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM. Most performances have sold out, so ticket availability may be extremely limited. Arrive early to clear security, as entrance lines typically build significantly before showtime.

Hot Tip

Book your tickets immediately if availability remains—this tour has sold out nearly every show nationally. If you have flexibility, the 7:00 PM slots may have better availability than the later 9:30 PM performances, and arriving 45 minutes early will help you navigate security lines and secure premium viewing positions before the debate begins.
