Mad Cow Comedy hosts an afternoon of stand-up comedy performed by various international acts, all performing in English. Utrecht-based comedian, Rachel Morton-Young, introduces a different mix of comedians every 2 weeks, so no two shows are ever the same. The show takes place in the Eventspace at de Utrechter City Brasserie and Bar, a warm and welcoming venue with a great vibe (only a few minutesโ€™ walk from Utrecht Central Station).

"I think I'm a woman..." - that's how Marlies Verschueren came out to her family and friends. When Marlies was a little boy, she was sometimes called "miss" because she was small and slender. At that time, she found it terrible, but more than 40 years later she finally admitted to herself that she had always felt like a woman. During her transition, she wrote a stand-up comedy act in which she tells her journey with a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor. What sets Marlies apart is her mysterious habit of carrying a piano with her wherever she goes. This unexpected twist only adds to her comedic charm and highlights her unconventional approach to comedy. Her unique brand of self-deprecating humor and clever one-liners have won over audiences all over Belgium and Holland.

So donโ€™t miss out on a fab show full of lgbtq+ acts. Get your tickets on eventbrite or the Mad Cow Comedy website!

Meet Frank, a sweet-looking Dutch dad... with a dangerously sharp comedy edge.

Mad Cow Comedy Presents Silver Lining on Friday 22nd May in Utrecht.

Frank, a very Dutch dad, shares how heโ€™s coping with everything that just keeps happening to him; from his love of ear-splitting minimal techno and tattoos to battling hormones (not his own!). Somehow, he always finds a silver lining. He looks nice and sweetโ€ฆ but watch out, because out of nowhere, heโ€™ll strike mercilessly.

The show will be hosted by Mad Cow Comedy's Rachel Morton-Young and include a guest warm-up act.

Tickets available at https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/stand-up-comedy-in-english-frank-buytendijk-silver-lining-tickets-1987847630775?aff=odcleoeventsincollection
