Question 1

Will there be ticket sales at the door?

Accepted Answer

If the show isn't sold out there will be, yes! But do know: TUNA shows can sell fast. The last two editions of Big Fish sold out weeks before the show started. Not bragging, just a heads up..

Question 2

Is Mezrab easy to reach if you're from outside of Amsterdam?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! It's walking distance from a Tram 26 tram stop!

Question 3

I am coming by car, is there parking at the venue?

Accepted Answer

There's a couple of parking garages nearby. Check out Google Maps to see which one suits you best!  It's not possible to park on the street, the theater is located on a pedestrian only area.

Question 4

My friend/wife/husband/tinder date told me I'm funny. Can I still enter this competition?

Accepted Answer

Sure you can! You do have to win a couple of preliminary rounds to get to this one though. Check out www.thatcomedything.com or go to Instagram @thatcomedythingams There's sign ups every month!

Question 5

Who is on the lineup?

Accepted Answer

The winners of the award Newbie of the Month that we handed out throughout 2025! Check out the description of the event to see who they are.

Question 6

How does TUNA work?

Accepted Answer

The comics in this lineup have come far. To compete in BIG FISH, they had to win two rounds: TUNA: First Swim, where the audience picks favorites, and TUNA: Newbie of the Month, decided 50% by audience and 50% by local comedy pros. From 160 entrants, these 10 are the very best!

Question 7

What does TUNA stand for?

Accepted Answer

Tiny Underground Newbie Award. It is a name that was invented by the organiser That Comedy Thing whilst standing in his kitchen holding a beer, and not their first one either. Truth is we had a poster with a fish on it, and needed some words to make the acronym work.

Question 8

Why 'Big Fish'?

Accepted Answer

Why all the questions?

Question 9

You know the animal on the poster is a mamal, not a fish, right?

Accepted Answer

We do, and we don't care but we're also not mad at your for pointing it out

Question 10

I want to bring my kids, is that ok?

Accepted Answer

Comedy shows generally aren’t ideal for kids under 16. Younger children—unless they’re big comedy fans—may struggle to stay engaged, and some topics might be unsuitable for certain ages. Ultimately, you’re the parent, so the choice is yours!
