From Saturday, May 24 to Sunday, June 1, five theaters from the Brainport region are organizing a new edition of the Wonka Comedy Festival (Laugh Together). A festival in which comedy plays the leading role, and this year in no fewer than nine different languages. For 10 days, the various theaters will host performances by comedians in Dutch, English, Polish, Turkish, Surinamese, Greek, Slavic, Ukrainian and French. The Wonka Comedy Festival is the result of the Wonka Podia: a successful collaboration between Parktheater Eindhoven, Kattendans Bergeijk, Theater de Schalm Eindhoven, Theater de Hofnar Valkenswaard and Het Speelhuis Helmond.
Program
This edition features an even greater diversity of international and national comedians on the various stages in and around Eindhoven. Rogier Bak – the Dutch comedian who lived in US for years, will be on stage with his show Made in USA. Deniz Göktaş – one of Turkey’s best-selling stand-up comedians – will come with new material during the festival (Turkish) after ‘Selam, Selam’. We can hear Gilion Slory (Surinamese), the French comedians of Dam qui rit, Chrysa Katsarini (Greek), Ukrainian and Polish stand-up. Dutch spoken shows include Plien & Bianca, Nabil, Jandino Asporaat, HZT, Jawad Es Soufi and Tim Kroezen. And that is ‘just’ a selection from the total comedy program of the international Wonka Comedy Festival.
A program for young and old, for connoisseurs and comedy starters. The theaters cordially invite fans of all ages and nationalities to come and laugh together.
This edition of the Wonka Comedy Festival is made possible by Brabant-C x ASML. The complete program can be found at www.wonkacomedyfestival.com and ticket sales for all comedy shows have now started.
