THE (FUNNY) STORIES OF OUR LIVES

Ashwyn is a rising star on the Canadian comedy scene. The standup comedian, musician, and writer moved to Canada from India in 2014 and his comedy is largely based on the immigrant experience.

His work blends incisive humour with heartfelt social commentary. An Indian immigrant turned Canadian resident, Ashwyn draws on his unique perspective to explore themes of cultural identity, immigration, and family with wit and relatability.

Currently on tour across Canada – details here – he also has a popular comedy series on YouTube called Wrong Singh To Say.

His viral Desi Translations series, which has over 40 million views, celebrates the artistry of Hindi and Urdu lyrics by reinterpreting everyday English phrases. Beyond social media, Ashwyn’s standup comedy tackles social issues like immigration, religion, politics, mental health, and global conflicts, highlighting the hypocrisy in human behaviour with sharp humour.

Catch him live at the Comedy Bar Main Stage (2800 Danforth Avenue, Toronto, ON, M4C 1M1) on September 24 at 7:00 pm.
