INTERNATIONAL COMEDY SHOWCASE
Join us for a fun and cosy Sunday afternoon in the heart of Utrecht!
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.
Kartoffel:
Our show now takes place in the Biergarten at Kartoffel, a German-themed restaurant along the historic Oudegracht (only a 10 minutes walk from Utrecht Central Station). The venue has great, affordable food, so considering coming early for lunch, or staying for a bite after the show.
Line-up 2nd November 2025:
🇺🇸 David Gamble Jr – An American comedian and writer whose sharp, irreverent takes on marriage, family life, and modern America have seen him perform at top U.S. clubs including Cobb’s Comedy Club and The Punchline.
🇮🇪 Ger Staunton – A brilliantly witty Irish comic known for his effortless charm and clever storytelling. Ger’s laid-back delivery and sharp writing have made him a festival favourite across Europe.
🇬🇷 Zoe Ntonta – A Greek comedian based in Amsterdam, bringing high-energy storytelling, dark humour, and hilarious original songs to the stage. A 2025 Funny Women Semifinalist (UK), Zoe’s performances are always unforgettable.
🇮🇪 Martin Angolo – An award-winning Irish comedian and star of LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland on Amazon Prime. With millions of online views and rave reviews from Rolling Stone and The Independent, Martin’s razor-sharp jokes and smart punchlines make him one of the best in the business.
