Fernando Acosta, Austin Francis & Krzysia Balinksa in Heidelberg

When Costa Rican beaches meet Brooklyn rooftops and Polish wit strolls in from English streets, chaos is guaranteed. Fernando Acosta, Austin Francis, and Krzysia Balinska bring you an English stand-up comedy show spiced with global jokes and outrageous stories.

With Fernando’s sun-soaked energy, Austin’s razor observations, and Krzysia’s cross-cultural misadventures, expect laughter that crashes harder than a late-night afterparty. Three voices, three continents, one unstoppable night of comedy.

Fernando Acosta:
Meet Fernando Acosta, a Caribbean native who traded the sunny, laid-back vibes of Costa Rica for the structured chill of Central Europe. Facing relentless pressure from German bureaucracy to “get a proper job,” he chose comedy over therapy. Through witty observations and a touch of self-deprecating humor, Fernando shares his journey of life between two worlds—exploring cultural stereotypes, social dynamics, and the little ironies that make life both absurd and beautiful.

Austin Francis:
New York native Austin Francis started in comedy as a stress relief, which relates to the motto he uses: “Laughter is the best medicine.” Austin tells stories from his life (family, work, love, fatherhood, etc.) in a way for all to relate, be shocked by, but most important, laugh about. Austin is a Frankfurt-based traveling comedian as well as occasional host. He has opened for several established names and is currently working on his upcoming 4th comedy solo.

Krzysia Balinska:

Krzysia is Polish by way of Great Britain and will have you in stitches over the cross-cultural palaver that is her sex life. She has opened for Bengt Washburn and Thomas Henry and performed internationally from London South Bank Centre to Tokyo Comedy Bar. She prefers riots to diets unless the diet is exclusively croissants.
