Opening Night!: Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa

Join us at Vancouver Playhouse for the Opening Night Kick-Off of the 16th edition of Indian Summer Festival! Come early, dress to impress, and connect with the Indian Summer community during our Opening Night Happy Hour before the show begins.
Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa has taken the comedy world by storm, with over 1M followers online and popular clips such as "Why Germans Love Recycling” and "Particularly Shitty Parents,” from his beloved comedy special, Woodapple Jam. This spring, Vidura began his multi-continental Paradise Gothic Tour, with stops across Europe, the UK, Asia, Australia, and North America, including his Vancouver debut.
Charlie Demers, Canadian comedy legend, author, Indian Summer Festival alum and CBC Debater, will open the evening. Genre-defying musician Piu punctuates the evening with work from her upcoming album, Milao, an exploration of memory, time, and the shifting landscapes of belonging.
