The Global Comedy Night is an evening stand-up in its purest form.
Hilarious, inventive, sometimes a little strange or with a musical twist, but always funny. Because that’s what comedy is all about: the joke!
Make sure you have your favorite drink within reach when the best comedians hit the stage.
Master of Ceremonies is Adam Fields, a true Londoner currently living in Amsterdam.
Having miraculously escaped the perils of Alice Springs, Chris Cook is a formidable comic force who delivers hilarious anecdotes and insights, borne from his life experiences spent living in the heart of the Western Desert of Australia.
A founding member of Red Centre Comedy in Alice Springs, Chris was a 2016 Melbourne International Comedy Festival NT Raw Comedy Finalist. He was a guest performer in the Laugh It Off NT Comedy Showcase in Darwin in July 2016, and he has arrived in Europe fresh of the back of a week long run at the 2017 Adelaide Fringe Festival.
Being from a remote town in Central Australia means that Chris has to travel great distances just to find an audience of more than one to perform in front of. His unique experiences, based on the combination of isolated living and long distance travel, provide the basis for an honest and amusing comic narrative unlike any you have heard before.
Soula Notos is a theatermaker, storyteller, actress, host, and comedian. She graduated in 2005 at the Theaterkade in Amsterdam as a theatermaker with her play Doctor, what do cowgirls dream about?
At the moment she's performing her first long solo Who are you when no one is looking? on different occasions (like the International Storytelling Festival Amsterdam, First Contact London, and the Fortellerfestivalen in Oslo). In the piece she tells expressive, energetic, poetic stories full of self-mockery about growing up with different labels and how to deal with them without losing your mind.
As a comedian she performs in Dutch, English and since recently also in Greek. Soula performs in the Netherlands, but also abroad (Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, England, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Finland, Malta).
