Performers
Daniel Yazbek is a stand-up comedian from South Africa. He studied Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at the UvA/VU. He has quickly found himself a home in the Amsterdam comedy scene through his witty storytelling and charming crowd work. He was traumatized as a child – but which comedian/human wasn't?! He does a stellar job of hiding it, making the audience as comfortable as he is on stage.
Nadine Froughi is an award-losing stand-up comedian and UvA grad who actually uses her Communication Science degree in her day job (tech marketing) and actively avoids using it in her comedy.
Sjoerd Scott studied International and European Law and is a content creator, host, producer and stand-up comedian. He is quickly taking over stages in the country, with his fresh and friendly style of comedy.
Shaz Memon studied International development and Transport management and works as a senior portfolio manager for responsible investments. In stand-up comedy he blends expat life with infectious, chaotic, and cross-cultural humor that instantly connects with audiences.
