Vidur rocked @ the NACA National Convention '08 on 2/16 in St. Louis, MO and due to huge demand is likely to be one of the top 3 acts on US campuses in '08 -'09.
Vidur was selected as a NY finalist for NBC's "Stand Up for Diversity" and was part of the famous New York Comedy Festival.
Vidur and his stand up comedy are the
subject of a short film called "Laughing Out
Loud A Comic Journey" by director Shalini
Kantayya which was shown on Steven
Spielberg's "On The Lot" on FOX television.
This film was voted as the favorite film by
Michael Bay, Director of Transformers and by
the other contestants on the show. Watch the
film on FOX's "On The Lot" site at

Television piece worldwide on "

along with internationally known
celebrities such as Mira Nair, Director of

Namesake", Naveen Andrews of ABC's "LOST"

I AM EVERYWHERE...
WREAKING HAVOC IN THE USA!
MTV’S LOGO "THE OUTLAUGH FESTIVAL ON WISECRACK"
I was hand-picked amongst the leading queer comedians
in America as a main featured performer for the
Outlaugh Festival 2006 along with one of my
all time favorite divas, Margaret Cho! WOW!! I
was thrilled….and was in really good company with
Michele Balan, Bruce Vilanch and Suzanne
Westenhoefer! The series premiered on January 16th,
2007. I will be shown on Episode 4, airing repeatedly from
February 6th through 13th, along with my favorite New York
lipstick lesbian, Michele Balan of
Last Comic Standing, 2006 fame.
The LOGO show will launch a national tour HinJew
Hysteria! featuring Michele Balan and me. Suddenly I
find myself in the league of nationally recognized comics and
demand for my comedy is growing exponentially...book me solo or
with HinJew Hysteria!
CANADA AND THEN SOME!
JUST for LAUGHS COMEDY FESTIVAL
LOOK OUT—we Asians are taking over! I was selected as
one of the top four Asian comics in North America to perform in
the ASIAN INVASION show at the world famous
Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal,
in July 2006. This was the first ever “Asian Invasion Show” and
boy did we invade!!!...with rave reviews. I had a blast and
brought the house down at both the shows, one of which will be
shown on the Just for Laughs digital edition in 2007. Go online
to check out my take on
airport security and
Indians vs Puerto Ricans!
HA!IFAX COMEDY FESTIVAL
I’m probably one of the few South Asians to make it to
Nova Scotia! It's COLD there in May! I was featured in the
Ha!ifax Comedy Festival in May 2006. I rocked
the Gay and Lesbian show with my original Indian flavah and
killed at the main GALA show too. This aired on January 17th on
the second episode of
HA! on CBC Television in Canada…I may
be coming to a town near you in ‘07! |
CREATING SHOCKWAVES IN INDIA!
I just about survived “Delhi Belly” and performed two
sold out, riotous shows in Bombay and Bangalore! I thought I would
get stoned to death, instead I just got stoned! Everyone showed
up…Bombay socialites, fabulous models and glimmering glitterati…I
gave the Vikram Chatwal wedding a run for their money with extensive
coverage on the prestigious Page Three of the Bombay Times!
The shows got rave reviews and I was written up in all major
newspapers including the The Times of India, The Bangalore
Times, The Deccan Herald, The Hindu and The
Hindustan Times—my Mom had a COW! But I’m not done yet—I’m
planning a HUGE raucous tour of major Indian cities in ‘07! Look out
India!
SLEEPLESS NIGHTS FOR THE QUEEN IN THE UNITED KINGDOM!
I’m not going to spare the U.K.! In ‘07, I’m returning to my home during my
high school and college days...The London School of Economics etc. etc.….to show
them how I’m putting that degree to use!
AND OF COURSE LAST BUT NEVER
LEAST—NEW YORK CITY!
THE LAUGH LOUNGE NYC
I’m creating a fabulicous comedy extravaganza, co-producing, with
Sholay Productions, and performing in a
bi-monthly show called “Laff-o-Rama” at the
Laugh Lounge. It will be crazy, colorful and
very cute, featuring me along with a diverse lineup that will
draw a crowd equally diverse in terms of ethnicity, sexual
orientation, age and mental sanity!!  The
first show will be on January 31st. Come meet and greet my celebrity co-star of HinJew Hysteria!
America’s Last Female Comic Standing ’06—Michele Balan!
