Overview
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. 
Highlights
A Debate to the Death: Forget traditional stand-up—Hasan and Ronny face off in real-time debate format covering America's most divisive topics, from politics to family values, with zero filters and maximum pettiness.
Two Comedy Powerhouses: Hasan Minhaj brings his razor-sharp wit honed from his Patriot Act days, while Ronny Chieng—who starred in Crazy Rich Asians and Netflix's Interior Chinatown—adds comedic firepower with his recent Emmy-nominated special.
Genuine Animosity: This isn't manufactured drama—Minhaj and Chieng actually despise one another, creating authentic tension and unpredictable moments that make every show genuinely unique.
19-City Tour Event: This limited national tour brings the comedy world's most provocative debate to only 19 select cities, making San Jose one of the few chances to witness this cultural moment live.
Multi-Show Availability: Multiple performance times across two nights (7:00 PM and 9:30 PM on December 17-18) provide flexibility for scheduling, though most shows are sold out.
Social Commentary Gold: Beyond personal feuds, the show tackles urgent American issues—war, the economy, infrastructure, dating culture—transforming stand-up comedy into sharp political and social critique.
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.
