Hari Kondabolu’s Life Was Transformed in Seattle

Hari Kondabolu has never been afraid to talk about sensitive
topics on stage. The veteran comedian, who has appeared on Conan,
Kimmel, Letterman, and NPR’s Wait Wait... Don’t Tell Me mined
material about race, immigration, and other societal hot button
issues. But unlike some comedians, he was hesitant to discuss
himself and in particular the depression that has followed him
for years. He goes there in this interview that also includes
exploration of panic attacks, the ups and downs of therapy, and
how Seattle helped him become who he wanted to be.
