If you like your stand-up comedy infused with sharp storytelling and deeply personal vulnerability, make your way down to Free Times Cafe for *Wait, What’s Sri Lanka?*. Written by comedian Shenuque and directed by Sunny Laprade, this 10+ city touring solo show tackles the joys and pains of feeling invisible while navigating multiple intersecting identities.
The Vibe & Topics
Drawing comparisons to a cross-section of modern comedic heavyweights, Shenuque uses a narrative-driven style to weave humor through topics like race, gender, sexuality, and the universal experience of dealing with judgmental aunties. Whether you share a Sri Lankan background or not, the show's exploration of belonging hits close to home.
Venue & Logistics
Hosted at the beloved Free Times Cafe at 320 College St near Kensington Market, attendees should note there is a one-item minimum (food or drink), so plan to come hungry and sample their menu while enjoying an intimate night of stand-up.
