Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa

Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa is a comedian, writer, and director. His self-directed and self-written comedy specials include Monsoon Season (2022), French Kiss Tunnel (2024), and Woodapple Jam (2024).

Bandara Rajapaksa’s deadpan style puts audiences at ease while challenging conventional wisdom with a unique tone that is often irreverent, at times poignant, and always hysterical. He is currently working on a puppet show slated for the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in his native Sri Lanka.

“If I were to describe what I do, I’d say it’s a form of memoir to some extent,” he says. “I care a lot about applying the craft of stand-up to the things I have to say.”
