Hasan Minhaj and Ronny Chieng, both alumni of The Daily Show, staged their comic tour A Debate to the Death at the Royal Albert Hall for one night.
Hasan Minhaj and Ronny Chieng, both alumni of The Daily Show, brought A Debate to the Death to the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington on Friday 16 October 2026.
Minhaj grew up in Davis, California, the son of Indian immigrants. His Netflix special Homecoming King won a Peabody Award, and his weekly Netflix show Patriot Act followed.
Chieng was born in Malaysia and studied law at the University of Melbourne before he turned to stand-up. He joined The Daily Show as a correspondent in 2015 and appeared in the film Crazy Rich Asians.
The tour, billed in full as Hasan Hates Ronny | Ronny Hates Hasan, was a staged feud. The two traded grievances about America, each other and each other’s families in the form of a mock presidential debate.
Matt Richards and Andy Haynes opened the evening at 19:30. The headliners came on after a 25-minute interval and finished at about 21:35.
