Lilly Singh, Toronto's Superwoman, heads out on the road

Comedian Lilly Singh, also known as Superwoman, has millions of followers, her own clothing line and collaborations with the likes of Seth Rogen and James Franco.

But thus far that's all been online, primarily on her YouTube channel.

Now Singh is focused on connecting with fans in real life, taking her YouTube act on the road with a North American tour.

"I went on tour because I had an itch inside of me to prove to people l could be funny without editing," she said.

Her first stop on her 12-show tour takes place in her hometown Thursday night at the Danforth Music Hall.
