The Buddha Wears Prada

Edinburgh 2026

A brutally dark, snarky, and occasionally offensive stand-up 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 in the Rocky Mountains, Sofia hit the road and blew the whistle. It isn't a famous cult yet, but through exposés, podcasts and general trash-talking, Sofia's trying to change that. What's more, now a self-proclaimed "Buddhaphobe", she intends to ruin your relationship with Buddhism too.
