Allegory is a comedy show about finding your place in the chaotic constellation of colleagues, friends, and family—while also attempting to nurse a pet octopus with a highly inconvenient digestive condition. Through a mix of sharp wit, heartfelt storytelling, and surreal humor, the show dives into the absurdities of modern life with a fresh perspective.
At its core, Allegory grapples with the conundrums of being an immigrant parent, navigating the hustle as a working woman, and questioning the freedoms we’re told we have. It’s about the balancing act of honoring cultural traditions while forging new paths, finding humor in the everyday struggles, and coming to terms with the messy, beautiful, and often ridiculous realities of life.
With an unmistakable blend of relatable humor and quirky insights, Allegory takes audiences on a journey through the highs and lows of connection, ambition, and self-discovery. Whether you’re looking for a good laugh or a thoughtful exploration of what it means to belong, this show will leave you both chuckling and reflecting long after it’s over.

The Hindu writes ‘Recently, in the UK, Anu Vaidyanathan almost got robbed in an alley. But instead of thinking how to run, she thought what a great set this would make for her standup act. Ever since she stepped into the role of a standup comedian, inspiration comes from everywhere, be it while changing diapers or being slapped awake by her sleeping child.’
