About the show

Sold out at the NYC Fringe Festival 2025. Part love letter, part stand-up set, part concert and part iPhone advert (jk!), the show explores whether emojis are a uniquely universal shorthand or merely digital crumbs of connection in a fractured society. In this hilarious, heartfelt, ADHD-friendly show packed with energetic musical numbers, sparkling visuals and audience participation, Aarushi Agni delivers a chaotic TED Talk/musical about emoji and risky texts blending sharp comedy, cultural insight and impressive vocal dynamism.
