Vivek, a young queer brown boy from Edmonton as he tries to achieve pop stardom (and fails) – from the perspective of the now 40-something trans femme artist that boy became.
Watch NowWhat happens when a star isn’t born? An adaptation of Vivek Shraya’s hit play and subsequent book, How To Fail as a Popstar answers this question with hilarity, vulnerability, a healthy dose of imagination, and of course, music. The series tracks the journey of a young queer brown boy growing up in Edmonton trying to achieve pop stardom and what went almost right along the way – from the perspective of the now 40-something trans femme artist that boy became.
