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.
Maureen Younger is frank, fast, feisty, sharp and engaging – honest humour with attitude! She works as a stand up comedian and compere all around the UK and abroad and even gigs in German! As an experienced compere, Maureen is known for her quick wit and sharp audience interaction. In the UK she is one of the few (if only) comedians who works regularly on the mainstream and urban comedy circuits.
Her gigs have ranged from being the support act for the entire West End run of The Naked Magicians at the Trafalgar Studios as well as one of the warm up acts for Puppetry of the Penis to performing at the Barbican alongside Arthur Smith; supporting Shazia Mirza on tour; to being one of the acts at the Jamaica vs The World gigs at the Shepherds Bush Empire. (Maureen was representing the latter category!)
Jurg van Ginkel is probably one of the few comedians who can weave subjects as diverse as the sex life of cats, angry robots and talking urinals into one cohesive and very funny performance. But then again, Jurg has been doing stand-up comedy in English and Dutch for 13 years now, so he's got the chops. This is why he's a valued member of the Comedyhuis in Utrecht and one of the key organisers behind the Utrecht International Comedy Festival, the biggest comedy-festival of the Benelux.
Master of Ceremonies is Adam Fields, a true Londoner currently living in Amsterdam.
