From the creator of the comedy hit, "How to Cheat on Your Husband.”About this Event
Did she actually catch him? Absolutely. And it took enough lies to launch an amateur FBI investigation.
Dark comedy, storytelling & inappropriate poetry about open relationships, kinks, betrayal, and enough lies to launch an amateur FBI investigation. Plus: three miscarriages, two threesomes and one breast lump.
Come laugh, feel something deep, and please, for the sake of your own relationship: don’t take notes.

Luana Matei (https://www.instagram.com/luanacomedy/) Luana Matei is a Romanian comic who has knocked around the globe: Germany, 12 years in Tokyo, and now calls Amsterdam home. She brings all that baggage onto the stage, dumps it out, and makes you laugh at the mess.
Her act feels real, honest, maybe a little dark, and tells it exactly how it is. It's just her, a mic, and stories that jump from smart jokes to true stuff to funny, heartfelt poems, touching on the parts of life we usually keep quiet about. She performs in English, Japanese, and Romanian, because some things just sound funnier in another language. Luana doesn't hold back. She tackles the messy parts of life we all deal with, exploring themes that might be considered taboo, like those your mother told you never to discuss in public. She's even performed at the legendary Comedy Store, proving no topic is off limits when she’s got the mic.
REVIEWS from past audiences:
"Luana is your friend who always has a story to tell, except her stories are always funny. She did a particular set for the audience on the day that I saw her, mixing up her material. It worked!
Her humour resonates with me and it will resonate with you too: yes, you can laugh about communism and infidelity and bad sex and parents (oh, parents!) and ninjas and sleeping your way around the world. Her humour is messy and dark, because, well, life is messy and dark. Yes, it is her story that she tells, but it is very much your story too.
I smiled all through the show and laughed with my own husband and my friends (I thought appropriate to bring to the show not only my husband but also my best friends, whose wedding I celebrated ;) I’d go again to her shows when she comes to my city!" Gaia

"Invited my partner on our anniversary and it was great! Think of Luana as the Mouth Of Truth and be prepared to hear some truths and laugh at all of them! I have never been asked so openly when was the last time I had sex, or if we cheated on each other (ps yes we did but we fixed it). Anyone in need of a sex talk, give it a try;)" Monika Rimini

"Saw this show as a last minute decision. Didn't stop laughing! The performer really knows how to captivate their audience and is a great storyteller. " Amber Leadbetter
