Storyteller/Comedian
Karin Fekko is a Toronto-based storyteller, best known for her acclaimed solo shows Multiple Neurosis and Who’s Gonna Push Your Wheelchair? Drawing from 21 years living with multiple sclerosis, her playful performances find the humour and humanity in the darker aspects of existence.
Comedian
Preeya Malik is a Toronto-based comedian known for her sharp, crass storytelling and unapologetic take on life. Raised in an immigrant household where she was taught to stay quiet, mind her business, and that “ladies shouldn’t involve themselves in such affairs,” Preeya took that advice as a challenge. Her comedy draws from growing up between cultures, family expectations, and the wonderfully inappropriate places life tends to take you. Equal parts candid and chaotic, Preeya isn’t afraid to say the quiet part out loud.
