Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa

Description:

Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa is a Sri Lankan comedian, writer, & director. His self-directed & self-written comedy specials include the Monsoon Season (2022), French Kiss Tunnel (2024), & his most recent special Woodapple Jam (2024). 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.

December 10, 2025 - Today, comedian, writer, & director Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa announced his 2026 Paradise Gothic Tour across the UK & EU. The 24-date run kicks off on March 22 in Stockholm, with additional stops in Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, London, Edinburgh, and more before wrapping on April 25 in Belfast.

Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa returns with Paradise Gothic, 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 running by numbers. Smart, subversive, and quietly explosive; this is Vidura at his most fearless.
