Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa
Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa: The Paradise Gothic Tour VIP tickets include Priority Seating in rows one through five! Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa is a Sri Lankan comedian, writer, & director. His self-directed & self-written comedy specials include Monsoon Season, French Kiss Tunnel, & his most recent special Woodapple Jam. His dead-pan style puts audiences at ease while challenging conventional wisdom with a unique tone that is often irreverent, at times poignant, and always hysterical. Paradise Gothic is a sharp, darkly funny new hour exploring immigration, anarchism, "radical buddhism," and the absurdities of attempting to build a life within late-stage capitalism. With his trademark deadpan delivery and postcolonial wit, Vidura takes on corporate tech culture, spiritual burnout, and the strange comedy of trying to stay human in a world ran by numbers. Smart, subversive, and quietly explosive; this is Vidura at his most fearless!
