Fitting In, Standing Out
Punjabi Wabi Sabi is a hilarious stand up autobiographical comedy of what it's like to be a first-gen Canadian Muslim teenager in the 80s. Follow Awan in her one woman show as she talks about her story that includes racism, identity, and trauma that mashes together into part theatre and part stand up. Awan’s show is unexpected and fun as she has a knack for storytelling, a perfect Friday night entertainment. Although some jokes don’t land the same as for those who grew up in the 80s compared to those who didn’t, there’s still some jokes for everyone. Overall Awan’s Punjabi Wabi Sabi is a delightful show about fighting to be yourself in a world that wants you to blend in and a great evening entertainment.
