Amrita Dhaliwal Brings DRIVING AROUND to Philadelphia Fringe Festival and Cannonball

Opening this week: a provocative brew of physical comedy, absurdism and American naivety invite you onto an imaginative and fanciful ride, presented by award-winning comedian Amrita Dhaliwal. Perpetual fabrication and buried social commentary are revealed with effervescent zing and cheeky sassiness in Driving Around. A show full of insights into what unites us and separates us, the host takes you on a ride that is so far past stupid that it becomes compelling!

Performances run September 14-16 at The Living Room, Fidget Space.
