Laugh your way to Enlightenment...
Join us for a truly extraordinary evening with Swami Beyondananda - the beloved cosmic comic alter ego of author, humorist, and political commentator Steve Bhaerman - for a show unlike anything you've experienced before.
Swami Beyondananda is the comedic alter ego and "cosmic comic" persona of American humorist, writer, and activist Steve Bhaerman.
Known for a style described as "wisdom disguised as comedy", he has performed for over 35 years, blending spiritual insight with sharp political satire.
Described as a cross between Ram Dass and Häagen-Dazs, the Swami is a "FUN-damentalist" who encourages "fool-realization" rather than blind following.
This is comedy that heals. This is laughter that opens doors.
Whether you've been following the Swami for decades or you're discovering him for the first time - this evening will leave you lighter, brighter, and more connected to the joy that lives underneath everything.
Come for the laughs. Stay for the awakening.

“Choose the night that leaves you in stitches - or the day that rewires your mind. An evening comedy show or an afternoon breakthrough workshop - your pick, your transformation.”

The evening unfolds in two delicious acts:
Act One is pure Swami - a masterful stand-up performance of razor-sharp satire, spiritual one-liners, and the kind of cosmic wit that has earned him the title "the Mark Twain of our times." He'll riff on politics, consciousness, the state of the universe, and everything in between - leaving you breathless with laughter and somehow more awake than when you walked in.
Act Two takes a deeper turn. Steve Bhaerman steps out from behind the Swami's turban for a sit-down heart-to-heart - a real, unscripted conversation about where we are as a species, what's possible when we come together, and how humor is one of the most powerful medicines we have for these unprecedented times.

You'll learn how to find the joke hidden in the picture to heal your own life, and enlighten and brighten the lives of others. You'll laugh while you learn, and learn while you laugh!
