Aliya brings her high energy and vibrant nature to every show. She is easily able to adjust her act to suit her audiences and modify her material for clean/corporate comedy. Her mission is to make sure everyone has a good time and remind everyone not to take life too personally.
A reviewer once called her “delightfully tickling”!
Here's are a couple more reviews from her solo show to give you an idea of her flavour:
"The heart of Kanani's show is in forming a ‘togetherness’ with the room and her audience…ensuring the audience always has plenty to laugh at and plenty to bond over.” - My Melbourne Arts, 2019
"By the end you feel like you could easily watch another hour of her – display her comical wisdom. " ★★★★ Fourth Wall Media, 2020
