Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa

About the show

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.
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.
