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 22nd March:
Diederik Zuurmond
Amsterdam-based, British-born comedian with a dry, playful style. Diederik keeps it simple: he’s funny, and he gets the job done.
