Photo Recap: How I Met Your Masi Live Show
Award-winning comedic duo Arasha Lalani and Lily Abha Cratsley took the Dynasty stage with How I Met Your Masi—a smart, playful, and deeply personal show that reimagines the variety format.
Through a series of flashbacks, Arasha and Lily shared the story of how their friendship transformed “from icy to spicy,” blending sketch, autobiography, and a wink toward the sitcom that inspired their title. With a mix of sharp writing, on-stage chemistry, and a parade of surprising guest stars, the pair built a world that challenged familiar narratives and put South Asian sisterhood at its center.
Calling their signature style “high-brown comedy,” Arasha and Lily delivered exactly that: a night that balanced sharp satire with heartfelt storytelling. The result was both hilarious and subversive, daring the audience to rethink how Indian-American women are represented on stage and screen.
And if the laughter, gasps, and cheers were any indication—the audience was fully along for the ride.
