Aliya Kanani: Where you From, From?
"While her 'otherness' is the central theme of the conversation in Where You From, From?, the heart of Kanani's show is in forming a 'togetherness' with the room and her audience...ensuring the audience always has plenty to laugh at and plenty to bond over." My Melbourne Arts, 2019
"Aliya was exuberant and...well... funny.." Pationpics, 2019
With a recent sold out run at the Just for Laughs festival and Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Aliya takes you on a turbulent journey around the world with tales of fitting in, sticking out and standing up. Her pleasant nature, combined with her fiery spirit, leaves audiences feeling energized and uplifted.
