Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa is a Sri Lankan comedian, writer, and director whose sharp wit and unmistakable deadpan delivery have earned him a devoted international following. He has written and directed all three of his acclaimed comedy specials: Monsoon Season (2022), French Kiss Tunnel (2024), and his latest release, Woodapple Jam (2024).
Vidura’s calm, steady presence onstage puts audiences instantly at ease – which is impressive, considering he then proceeds to dismantle their assumptions one understated punchline at a time. His comedy is irreverent, sometimes unexpectedly moving, and always hysterical.
Catch him at Boom Chicago in Amsterdam with his new show Paradise Gothic, a sharp, darkly funny show that dives into immigration, anarchism, “radical” Buddhism, and the absurd task of building a meaningful life inside late-stage capitalism. With his signature postcolonial wit, he explores corporate tech culture, spiritual burnout, and the bizarre comedy of trying to remain human in a world increasingly run by spreadsheets.
