Brown Bodies Live! with Sachin 'Sunny' Mahashi
📅 Date: Thursday, 16th April
🕒 Time: Doors open at 7:30 PM (come have chai!)
📍Location: DT Toronto (TBA soon!)
If you've binge watched Crave's Late Bloomer — the brainchild of comedian Jus Reign — then you might remember one specific (our favourite) character: the always funny, gritty, best friend, Sunny. He is played by Sachin Mahashi — also known in real life as Sunny! — and we're excited to have him join us for a a cosy evening exploring love, sex, and identity.
Sunny is a retired engineer turned actor with multiple years of lived experience and many failed relationships. When he's not filming or consulting, he's studying astrology and the workings of the universe, hanging out with friends and family, or kidnapping the local dog at a nearby park.
We'll be sitting down with him to discuss the lessons he learnt about intimacy growing up, how that's changed now, and how that impacts the stories he tells and characters he plays.
We'll also be joined by Sonam, a therapist and the founder of Shifting Your State Therapy.
Spaces are limited so grab your tickets early!
