How To Fail As A Popstar

Learn how to fail better with Vivek Shraya.

In How to Fail as a Popstar, the singer and writer tells us about her path to the margins of fame as a “not quite” major popstar with lots of humour and empathy. In a thrilling cabaret-style performance consisting of anecdotes, music, and choreography that straddles all genres, Shraya takes us on a journey through her rise in showbiz, beginning with singing Hindu bhajans and R&B covers when she was young at competitions for teenagers, to moving cities, all the way to her first album.

Bittersweet and yet triumphant, How to Fail as a Popstar is a wise and ultimately redeeming pop odyssey; a reflection on the power of pop culture, dreams, disappointment, and self determination and a celebration of her own authentic voice.

Part of BIAF’s 2022 focus on artists from Canada #PopStarPlay

Note: Sales will close on our Box Office at 4pm daily for that day’s performance. Limited tickets available at The MAC.
