ALEKSANDR PEREVERZEV
Aleksandr Pereverzev relates well to international audiences having performed stand-up comedy in Switzerland, Georgia and now the Netherlands. Gathering inspiration from his life experiences, his comedy is engaging, witty and dark, all delivered with a wry smile!
FEDOR IKELAAR
This born and raised Dutchie always felt a bit out of place in the Netherlands. So, a few years ago he left home to live in Nepal, where he feels even more out of place. Surrounded by spiritual Nepalese, occasional opium dealers, forgotten hippies and millennials trying to find themselves he lost himself more and more but remained captivated by the madness of it all.Stand-up comedy turned out to be the best outlet for this constant cultural amazement. For the past years he has been performing across the globe Cape Town to Calcutta. Stitching together his world-travelled experience, from growing up in both the Netherlands and France to traveling the world and ending up in Nepal. With his unique perspective he manages to make his fumbling abroad in exotic places highly recognizable and enjoyable.

Phoebe Perry started performing improv and sketch comedy in Chicago and now performs her characters and stories in English and also (to the best of her ability) in Dutch.
