"One of the smartest, funniest, and most resolutely cooked writers and comedians in Australia right now." – Declan Greene"Vidya’s work is attuned to the absurdity of the every day, which is sometimes bleak, but for it to be art, is also usually funny. It exposes the oddness, the tenderness, and the strangeness of bodies and speech." – Ellena Savage
