Lilly Singh
Canada
Lilly Singh works across comedy, writing, acting and production, with a public career that developed from creating videos for an online audience. Her performance style brings character work and personal observation together, often using humour to explore identity, expectations and the experience of moving between different cultural settings. That combination has carried into television, books and longer narrative projects. Singh’s professional work includes presenting a late-night television programme and appearing in film and television productions. As an author, she has also used a more direct, reflective voice, extending the conversation beyond the pace of a comedy sketch. The range of formats gives audiences different ways to encounter the same interest in storytelling and the roles people are expected to perform. Through Unicorn Island, the company she founded, Singh develops projects with an emphasis on voices and perspectives that have received less space in mainstream entertainment. Its production and social-impact work reflects her wider interest in representation and gender equity. Her official platforms bring these strands together, offering a profile of a Canadian creator whose work now spans both performance and the development of stories behind the camera.
