Aliya Kanani: Drink, Pray, Love (redesigned)

Fresh off a sold-out run at Edmonton Fringe, award-winning comedian and Canadian academy award-nominated actress Aliya Kanani takes us on an uproarious journey of self-reflection. From studying meditation at an ashram in India, to accidentally joining a transformational leadership cult in Austin, this show plays on the discomfort we face when trying to 'be the change'.

Quick question, when's the revolution? And will there be wine?

Balancing comedy + life lessons + a tiny lil' existential crisis, and we got ourselves a show filled with cathartic belly laughs, leaving audiences around the world feeling seen. Tap into the vibrations and soak in the laughter therapy.
