Aliya Kanani: Drink, Pray, Love
In need of a laugh because the world’s on fire, but ALSO feel kinda guilty laughing while it burns? Perfect. You’ll love this show.
From tales of studying meditation in India, to accidentally joining a cult in Texas, Canadian award-winning stand-up comedian Aliya Kanani is on a quest for balance, asking vital questions like “How much yoga offsets a healthy commitment to wine?”
This show is an uproarious, cathartic, heart-on-sleeve rollercoaster that barrels through awkward confessions, spirals into playful existential crises, zigzags with delightfully scattered ADHD energy, pauses for moments of surprising wisdom, and ultimately invites audiences to laugh, wince, recognize themselves, and exhale as she turns oversharing into art.
