Aliya Kanani: Conversations

A Social Experiment. A Comedy Show. A human connection. And a Conversation You Won’t Forget.

Imagine having spontaneous exchanges, free from judgment and guided by curiosity, all facilitated by an award winning stand-up comedian who can use humour to break tension while holding space for authenticity.

If that sounds interesting to you, come join us. You will not regret it.

As we all long for connection is a world that feels difficult to understand, a good conversation can bring us together. And the convos are truly fascinating.

And while there is audience participation, no one is EVER required to participate. It’s completely optional. NO ONE IS PUT IN THE SPOT. You can jump into the conversation, participate through fun things like anonymous voting, or simply sit back and listen if that’s more your jam.

There is no other show like this.

Aliya Kanani, whose shows Where You FROM From? and A Comedian’s Guide to Enlightenment have received rave reviews, invites you to an intimate, community-driven hour of jokes, curiosity, and conversation that will stay with you long after the show is over.

The resounding complaint so far? The show isn’t long enough.

Luckily, no two shows are the same, so you can come back as many times as you like and experience an entirely different conversation every time.

And if money is the only thing standing between you and the show, message Aliya Kanani directly through her website to request a ticket.

Come curious. Leave entertained. Maybe leave with something to think about, too.

See you there.

Aliya Kanani performs an improv show, where she picks from cards written and submitted by the audience at the beginning of each show. These cards will ask some deeply personal questions which Aliya will share and try to find the humour and healing in.
