Listen "Making 'random' airport security checks an enjoyable experience with Aliya Kanani"
Episode Synopsis
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.
