Good Brown Boys Don't Party

SBS South Asian - YouTube Thumbnail - Playlist (2).jpg

What do you do when you’re brown, Muslim and not meant to party? You start early! Set in 1990s London, 'Daytime Deewane' follows the secret daytime raves where South Asian kids, shut out of white nightclubs and watched by their parents, built their own world of bhangra, bass and borrowed freedom. Actor Ashan Kumar joins Dilpreet Kaur Taggar to talk about why joy can be the biggest rebellion. 'Daytime Deewane' is currently on at Riverside Theatres, Parramatta.


It’s about what it is to be a brown person in a country dominated by white people: trying to find your identity and belonging.
