LYFAO

10/02/2022

Alas, LYFAO is no more. We had some great shows at Café De Plak, but since I no longer live in Nijmegen, there will be no more shows. Don't worry though, there are many other comedy nights still happening in Nijmegen that you can go to.

Stand Up Nijmegen are putting on regular comedy events, Meneer Otis put on some amazing shows with some of their performances in English and Zuva Martens is a regular comedy promoter in the city. There are also occasional Nijmegen shows from Weird Uncle Comedy & occasional English language ones from East Side Comedy Night too. Shout out to WOW-EFFECT Theater. Be sure to like and follow all of their pages to keep up with the latest things going on around the city.

Thanks to the performers, to the venue (particularly the enigmatic Tapedeck Boombox without whom none of this would have been possible), and of course every person who attended one of our shows. Each one was unforgettable. See you around - Steven

Have you seen the guy with the nailed on Dutch accent that's been going viral on TikTok lately? You may remember his face from our first ever LYFAO. It's none other than the hilarious Rogier Bak. Congrats Rogier, and hope to get you back on stage when things get a bit less crazy! https://www.tiktok.com/?
