When he found out his younger brother had just committed suicide, Aditya had the same first thought we all do: how do I write a joke about this? Recounting his story in both hilarious and heart-wrenching detail, Aditya Mayya Pretends to Be Sad is an hour-long exploration of being earnest from someone allergic to sincerity.
Following an acclaimed debut at New York’s YALLFest and prior to a highly anticipated Edinburgh run, Aditya brings this show back to his hometown to tell a story of grief, culture, and family that is sure to resonate with all audiences. Featuring Marc Hallworth as an opener.
