Paardcafé: Queer Comedy Pride Show

Being queer is fun and it’s okay to laugh about it! We will certainly do that on Saturday, May 18 during the Queer Comedy Pride Show. At 8:30 p.m. a great line-up of queer comedians will perform at the Paardcafé The Hague. These are:

MARIE KOET

Marie Koet, named one of the comedy talents of 2024 by the Volkskrant. She graduated cum laude in philosophy, after which she went all the way to comedy. She performed at Lowlands in 2023 with a solo show and has already played double programs with Kim Schuddeboom and Daniël Arends, among others. Daily newspaper Trouw called her “a queen of self-mockery. Besides the stage, Marie wrote texts for De Speld and the saHric TV program Plakshot.

JAMES JOHNSON

James Johnson is a gay man in his thirties who I’m sure gets along very well with your grandmother, especially if she likes to drink gin and gossip about the neighbor. This Englishman has been described as “witty, eccentric and perfectly paced. James is an accomplished stand-up comedian and astute storyteller who balances at full speed between the observational, the absurd and the slightly dark.

CÉLINE SCHRAMA

Promising talent Céline Schrama was a finalist of the Leids Cabaret Festival 2022 and won the student award. Celine is always that person who goes just a little too far in a conversation. Fat uncomfortable and awkward, except on stage. There, that awkwardness and awkwardness is her best weapon. Her high joke density and self-mockery are her greatest assets in this regard; first making fun of herself, and then…. it’s the audience’s turn.

MC SOULA NOTOS

Soula Notos is a Greek-Dutch comedian from Utrecht. For more than 18 years she has been on stage both at home and abroad. Strong facial expressions, unexpected turns and lots of interaction characterize her style. She has performed at the Utrecht International Comedy Festival, the International Luxembourg Comedy Festival and the Women in Comedy Festival in Manchester. She herself organized and presented several Super Queer Comedy Nights.

The Queer Comedy Pride Show was made possible by: Kristel Zweers, Queer aan Zee, Pride The Hague, Municipality of The Hague and Paardcafé.
