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 11th January:
Adam Bloom
One of the UK’s most respected comedians, Adam has performed sell-out shows around the world and appeared on Mock The Week, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, and Russell Howard’s Good News. Known for his sharp, intelligent stand-up and clever storytelling, Adam never fails to deliver big laughs.
Nik Coppin
Award-winning international comedian and sought-after MC, Nik has performed across Europe, Asia, and the US. With his energetic, rapid-fire style and effortless crowd work, he’s a true globe-trotting comedy favourite.
Frank Buytendijk
Sweet-looking but strikingly sharp, Frank brings life experience, wit, and self-aware humour to the stage. From New York to Tokyo, Frank has performed all over the world, turning everyday observations into unexpected laughs.
Alice Raffegeau
Rising French talent Alice brings witty, observational comedy with a fun, chatty style and infectious stage energy. She jokes that she’s a rare breed — a French person who speaks English — and her clever perspective guarantees laughs.
