International Comedy Showcase

INTERNATIONAL COMEDY SHOWCASE

Join us for a fun and cosy Sunday afternoon in the heart of Utrecht!
Mad Cow Comedy hosts an afternoon of stand-up comedy performed by various international acts, all performing in English. Utrecht-based comedian, Rachel Morton-Young, introduces a different mix of comedians every 2 weeks, so no two shows are ever the same.

Kartoffel:
Our show now takes place in the Biergarten at Kartoffel, a German-themed restaurant along the historic Oudegracht (only a 10 minutes walk from Utrecht Central Station). The venue has great, affordable food, so considering coming early for lunch, or staying for a bite after the show.

Lineup 18th May:

🎤 Host: Rachel Morton-Young
British comedian, host and founder of Mad Cow Comedy. She blends dry wit with observations on Dutch life and regularly performs across Europe.

Headliner: Manuel Wolff

Manuel Wolff is a seasoned and sought-after performer who has been making audiences laugh across Germany for years. Whether as a sharp stand-up comedian in clubs or a musical satirist on stage, he’s played all the major venues, toured with three solo shows, and earned numerous cabaret and comedy awards along the way.

His style is spontaneous, unpredictable, yet masterfully timed — a true original in the comedy world. Bursting with ideas, Manuel blends razor-sharp observations with quickfire shifts from deep irony to childlike joy, from absurd silliness to profound reflection. The result? Entertainment that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

Manuel is also an accomplished international performer, with appearances in the UK, USA, Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Bulgaria.

As the regular MC of his acclaimed BOING! Comedy Club, as well as the host of various shows, events, and galas, Manuel brings charm, wit, and an unwavering commitment to keeping things entertaining — no matter what comes his way.

Support Acts:

Manuel will be supported by Juanita Coble and other acts TBC
