About this Event
A dark stand-up work-in-progress comedy hour about Sofia May's experience as a former member of a Buddhist cult's inner circle, working as the assistant of a very chic, diabolical, female cult leader.
After living the life of a religious Buddhist zealot in a secluded community deep into the Colorado Rocky Mountains for years, Sofia hit the road and blew the whistle. It isn't a famous cult yet, but through exposés, podcasts and general trash-talking, it will be in a year.
What's more, now a self-proclaimed "Buddhaphobe", she intends to ruin your relationship with Buddhism too.
This show will debut at the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe festival. Come watch it take shape.
Venue: Hier Wo Du Strahlst (Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße 20, 10178 Berlin)
