Aliya Kanani: Comedy's ditching stereotypes for authenticity

Long before I began performing, I'd go out to watch live comedy. I'd notice that every time there was a performer who I felt represented me in some way, whether it was a woman or a person of colour (or, rarely, both), the focus of their jokes would be on what made them the 'other' on the line-up.
