About
Created by Aliya Kanani | Produced by Spoon Fulla Sugar | Origin: Toronto, Ontario
Award-winning comedian Aliya Kanani is going through the same existential crisis you are — out loud. Join her for an uproarious, heart-on-sleeve rollercoaster as she barrels into awkward confessions, spirals through self-discovery & zigzags with a delightful ADHD energy, sharing tales from studying meditation in India to accidentally joining a cult in Texas.
