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. Created and hosted by Lido Pimienta, the award-winning Colombian-Canadian musician, artist and mother, the series tackles topical themes ranging from feminism and colonialism to privilege and success, combining unhinged sketches, inspiring interviews, immersive documentaries, original songs, and sweetly surreal puppets.
