This show, while full of laughter and storytelling, takes the audience on a journey through both the highs and the lows of life in one of the world’s most iconic cities: London. The performance goes deep into the heart of the capital through the eyes of someone who thought leaving behind Spanish tapas would be the hardest part—until he experienced British immigration and employment-based visas. Brace yourself for brutally honest comedy, guiding you through corporate insanity with a theme of accountability. About the artistJakob Kerkhove started doing comedy in Barcelona right before the pandemic hit (so he's both smart and lucky). Once Covid started to give up its attempts to conquer the world, he emerged more and more as a writer, storyteller, and amateur comedian. At the beginning of 2024, he kicked in a door at a bar in Barcelona's Eixample and started the now well-established open mic “Jokes & Beers”. Then in the summer of 2024, he performed his first one-man show titled “Act Normal” at the Edinburgh Fringe (the world’s largest arts festival) where it received glowing reviews. Now he’s back with this brand-new story... Review (includes spoilers)London Is Great isn’t just a show; it’s a survival guide for anyone who’s ever been chewed up and spat out by the Big Smoke. And by “chewed up,” I mean forced to pay thousands by Stacey from HR—London’s reigning queen of passive-aggressive emails and malicious compliance. Through Jakob’s razor-sharp humour, we learn that the whole toxic work experience didn’t just cost him his sanity; it also gifted Barcelona a comedian who can turn bureaucratic misery into gut-busting and painfully relatable comedy. Between the queues, the overpriced rent, and the emotional minefield that is expat life, Jakob somehow finds the funny in it all. His show is a love letter to London—with all the love crossed out and replaced by laugh-out-loud disdain. It’s the therapy session you didn’t know you needed—but much cheaper.

ComediansCarly Blair I’m a not-your-typical-American who’s been trying to shove my square peg-shaped self into Amsterdam’s round hole with admirable, or perhaps foolish, persistence for the last decade or so. Enikő Varga Eniko is an Amsterdam based comedian, originally coming from the world of improvisation. In her standup she is trying to understand the world, asking questions which are not being asked often enough in her view. Richard Walker I’ve been living in Amsterdam so long I thought I was Dutch but then I looked at my pass-port and it turns out I’m British. Sorry. Elena Gabriela Popa 'Mine are clean jokes, I don't swear or talk about sex (on purpose). I like to talk about my own experiences and how I see things, so I would describe it as an observational sort of storytell-ing. Elena Popa is the winner of the December edition of TUNA! The Tiny Underground New-bie Award was well deserved, winning the jury vote and coming in second with the audience vote. Bruno Mazzini Bruno Mazzini is a Berlin-based Peruvian comedian. Is that it? Basically. With no unique features that define him, Bruno is desperately looking for something that he can use to sound cool. Maybe the fact that he’s kind of brown is interesting? Maybe not. Anyway, his comedy is silly, dark-ish and questionably insightful See you there!

Join us at ABC's celebratory weekend for a collaboration with Storyhouse Works who proudly presents a joint book event for authors Talia Stone, with her debut literary fiction guidebook Welcome Home Amsterdam, and Paola Bucciol’s children’s book The ABC’s of Amsterdam. Enjoy the conversation with both authors about their writing process, as they share segments from their books that showcase the beauty and magic of our beloved city of Amsterdam. There will be plenty of time for Q&A and book signing. There’s optional networking drinks across the street afterwards. Moderation by Hannah Huber. Talia Stone Writing Coach Talia Stone worked as an editor in TV, film and advertising for over 15 years before focusing on writing. When she’s not hosting storytelling workshops or taking tourists on historic trails through Amsterdam, Talia is creating her own stories. Welcome Home Amsterdam Welcome Home Amsterdam is a brand-new collection of short stories based in and around the Dutch capital. From the Golden Age to current times, these twelve fictional tales give a vivid glimpse of the real Amsterdam and shine an unexpected light on the city’s inhabitants: we experience how a remembrance service silences a rowdy student fraternity, how the Anne Frank House affects a woman born to fascist parents and how a young Turkish girl empowers the women in her neighbourhood. Paola Bucciol Originally from Italy, Chicago-based Paola was inspired to create the City ABC series back in 2018, when she and her family relocated to the Netherlands. A born explorer and storyteller by trade, she wanted to involve her young sons in the big move. “I realised that by giving them the opportunity to learn ahead of time – by reading and talking about ‘the land of windmills, bikes, and tulips’ – it paved the way for a great adventure that they could help craft. We discovered Amsterdam as a family.” ABC’s of Amsterdam: a first guide to the capital of the Netherlands The first in a series of fun city guides, designed with young readers in mind. ‘A’ is for Amstel river… ‘S’ is for Skating… Did you know that there are more than 1,200 bridges in Amsterdam? Or that Dutch kids learn to skate with chairs on the frozen canals of the capital? Packed with facts and inspiration, this playful travel companion has an alphabetical format to help guide mini explorers through a unique, family-friendly city, one letter at a time.
