LIDO TV is a variety show with a mission: to help people cope with life in a world that sometimes feels like it's falling apart, filled with hilarious sketches, inspiring interviews, immersive documentaries, surreal animations, and... puppets! At the centre of it all is our host Lido Pimienta, the award-winning Colombian-Canadian musician, artist and mother whose hilarious, curious, and tender personality drives the action. The series tackles themes ranging from feminism and privilege to colonialism and success, and features appearances by Nelly Furtado; musicians Shad and Kittie; writer Sarah Hagi; NorBlack NorWhite co-founder Mriga Kapadiya; and artists jes sachse and Jessica Karuhanga.
