Vanda's Quantum Comedy Show -Enlighten Up!

About Me

Hi! I was a comic in the 80's and now, after a prolonged period of checking OUT, and a dalliance with yoga and meditation, I am back to stand-up about what I really care about, healing anything that ails anyone through laughter!I'm mostly just working on headaches at this point, but my goal is to restore appendages to their full glory and to have tumors, benign or malignant, melt before our eyes ...Here's the deal that inspires me, especially now that I'm in Hollywood: The more agenda, the less connection. If I remove all the agenda from what I say and do and be, who would that leave me with?My comedy is "an irreverent romp down my twisted spiritual path." Why am I talking in quotes?Come see my show- Enlighten Up!-Aha's and Ha-has w/Vanda & Friends – Spiritual/Metaphysical/Transformational/Enlightened/Consciou s/Cosmic/Quantum ComedyI think anyone who refers to themselves as "conscious" ought to be shot.Feel free to check me out live at my web site: www.vanda.us. There's a video demo on there showing my schticky-schtick. I need a boyfriend who is technically adept. Did you hear the word "need"? Oh, that's attractive. Either we are at the source of our reality or not. The sub-atomic realm either responds to my mind or it doesn't. Jesus, I am my own little quantum life coach! If I just stopped using the word "need" everything would be transformed and my level of effectiveness would shoot off the charts. I'll start that today.How come if I practice piano everyday for decades I’m a virtuoso, but if I practice sex I’m a slut?I do practice sex a lot and I’m not getting much better at it. It’s slow going, really.My goal, my intention with my sexual practice, my “Carnegie Hall” if you will, is to reach new levels of surrender and release and intimacy and connectedness and creativity and comfort with a man such that I can walk around naked with no inhibitions in front of him. Like St. Francis of Assisi, I renounce all worldly things like clothing, attracting children and birds, and I walk in front of his family and his entire hometown at the same time telling them what I really, really think.

My Interests

yoga, embroidery, talking well, listening, writing, transforming the planet, The Hunger project, Designing new technologies that render the old paradigms obsolete, non-reactive activism, Men, personal growth, laughing really hard.

I'd like to meet:

Great, like-minded people from everywhere... Great, UN-likeminded people from everywhere... My cousin, Jesse Sykes... the wreckage I left in my wake called "old boyfriends", to whom I owe a huge apology, I am certain... Sorry, gentlemen, I was trapped in a worldview that had it easy for me to leave ... People who love comedy about freeing oneself from the human dilemma... The man of my dreams, with whom I share a big, huge, large, big house overlooking some body of water (and other houses, so we can feel superior)...I am so kidding. I ain't no golddigga ...a visionary who supports me while I be great in the world. He loves the warm, tropical storm that I am. This guy loves luxury and play and fun and ease ... because I will treat him like a king and will devote myself to his flourishing! lots of adventure ... an embarassingly intimate liason, plumbing unknown depths of connectedness... no secrets: raw, human connection ...courageous connection.... a love affair with life and with each other that has everyone around us flourish. We are an incident in human history. We have more fun washing dishes than most couples have on their honeymoon. We spend half our time doubled over in laughter. We have unprecedentedly great sex. Oh God, I said "sex". Now every juvenile little geek will ...
