Aliya Kanani: A Comedian's Guide To Enlightenment
Award-winning comedian and Canadian academy-nominated actress Aliya Kanani is going through the same existential crisis you are, out loud.
Think Julia Roberts in Eat Pray Love, only she's brown, funny and poor.
Known for award-winning show 'Where You FROM, From?', she's back with an uproarious, heart-on-sleeve adventure, with tales from studying meditation in India to (accidentally) joining a cult in Texas.
With her love of mischief and uplifting take on life's challenges, Aliya barrels through awkward confessions, spirals into a tiny existential crises and zigzags with delightfully entertaining ADHD energy for an unforgettable night of cathartic laughter.
'Comical wisdom.' ★★★★ FourthWall
This show is about Aliya Kanani's journey to self-discovery. As a standup comedian she makes playful jokes about the difficult things we are all experiencing in the world. She shares her stories about travelling in India and learning to meditate for the first time, undergoing some very intrusive Ayurvedic treatments, sitting in silence for 10 days at a Vipassana centre and joining a transformational leadership program that felt like a cult. Through humour the audience connects and share some cathartic laughter over the shared difficulties of being human.
