Nigel Williams
Belgium’s ‘No punches held, no holds barred’ comedian. If you like your comedy a bit rough around the edges, you’ll love Nigel Williams. Nigel’s act is full of energy and healthy misanthropic rage, with improvisation and audience participation guaranteed. Nigel’s act has been described as “A long distance sprint of laughs with no final destination”. Nigel has performed in Holland, England, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Finland and Germany and is best known for the political and social bent of his humor.

Michael Jäger

Zoe Tnonta (Rookie)
Zoe is a hairy comedy hurricane lighting up stages across the Netherlands. She’s 30% Greek, 30% Albanian, and 100% nuts. After studying Classic Literature at the VU (yes the VU!), she found that her true passion is making people laugh about the present rather than crying about the past!
