Lahiru Samarasinghe - Minneapolis-based Comedian

Lahiru Samarasinghe has been performing standup in the Twin Cities since 2016. In 2022 and 2023, he was a part of the 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival in Minneapolis, MN. Lahiru has been a finalist at the House of Comedy's Funniest Person With a Day Job Contest and has been runner-up in Acme's Funniest Person Contest. In 2024, Racket MN named Lahiru one of the "Comics to Watch" in 2024. Currently, Lahiru works at the Comedy Corner Underground in Minneapolis, hosting shows, running the room, and providing booking support. He also hosts The Modist Comedy Hour, a monthly comedy showcase at Modist Brewing in Minneapolis. By viewing his experience as the oldest American-born child of a Sri Lankan family through a silly lens, Lahiru is able to share his life in a way audiences can relate to.
