About this listen

 When Aliya Kanani was growing up, she dreamed of becoming an actress, but there was one problem: film and television rarely featured anyone who looked like her. In the season finale of Comedy Karma, host Aditya sits down with Aliya Kanani, the Canadian Screen Award-nominated comedian and actress, to talk about embracing her Tanzanian-Indian-Canadian identity, becoming a touring comedian, and what she hopes brown audiences take away from her work. They’ll also laugh through the hilarious stories behind her punchlines - from what it’s like to travel with a Muslim name, to navigating the world as a brown traveller, and her parent's reaction to her comedy career.
