The Elephant in the Bedroom in AMSTERDAM - Stand-up Comedy in English

About this event: An interactive comedy show where nothing is off-limits: therapy meltdowns, wild fantasies, and overshares that turn into pure comedy gold. Every show is different, because every elephant is too: some are crying, some are in leather, and some are just scrolling like they own the place. We drag them out, put them on stage, squirm in your seat, laughing all the way. You’ll hear personal confessions, funny poems, and some brutal crowd work that turns your embarrassing overshare into the funniest part of the night… whether you like it or not.

Date & Times: 16th October, at 8:00PM / Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.

Tickets: online starting at €7.50 (limited availability): at the door are €20.00 (cash or card accepted)Who is Luana? IG: @luanacomedy

Romanian-born, Tokyo-raised, and Amsterdam-trapped during lockdown. Her comedy? Dark, honest, and uncomfortably relatable. She’s toured 51 cities in 29 countries, with over 300 solo shows since 2022—200+ sold out.

Her hit show How to Cheat on Your Husband has crushed it in 42 cities across 17 countries. Come for the laughs, stay for the wildly inappropriate life lessons.

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

"Went to see this today and and had such a laugh! The show felt personal, like a catch up with a good mate! I am a lover of dark humour and perfectly timed jokes and this had it! Had a brilliant time and I’d defo recommend!" Kelsey Christie-whelan

"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
