A Brimful of Asha

By Ravi Jain, Asha Jain

Asha and Ravi Jain (real-life mother and son) share the stage to tell their true story of generational and cultural clash. Asha and her husband attempt to arrange a marriage for Ravi when he is on a trip to India. But Ravi as a first generation Canadian is against arranged marriage. They both want the audience to take their sides. Conveyed through storytelling, A Brimful of Asha is a comedic and heartwarming tale of a family caught between two cultures.
