Vanda Mikoloski

“I was a comic, spiritual seeker, personal growth enthusiast and drunkard. Now I’m writing memoir for my paid peeps and essays for my free peeps. My intention is to give you some laughs and some insights –hahas and ahas.”

Vanda Mikoloski is a pioneering stand-up comedian, yoga teacher, and transformational speaker who has spent over four decades blending spirituality with humor through her signature “Quantum Comedy” and trademarked “Enlighten Up” philosophy. Beginning her stand-up career in 1982 at New York City’s legendary Catch a Rising Star, she toured nightclubs and colleges across the United States and Canada, earning recognition as Washington State’s “Funniest Person in America” in Showtime’s 1987 competition. Her television credits include appearances on Showtime’s “Comedy Club Network,” “Comic Strip Live,” and Lifetime Network’s “Girl’s Night Out.”

Beyond comedy, Mikoloski became a certified Bikram yoga teacher in 1996 and studied Power Yoga with Bryan Kest. She gained international recognition as the yoga and meditation teacher for the Dixie Chicks during their 2000 “Fly” tour across 88 cities, and has performed at consciousness conferences, the Yoga Journal Conference, and spiritual festivals worldwide. Her work addresses quantum physics, metaphysics, and personal growth, creating profound shifts in audiences through her spiritually incorrect yet deeply transformative comedy.
