Freedom is No Joke is a powerful and deeply moving comedy night where humor meets humanity. On this special evening, refugee and ex-refugee comedians — alongside performers who have built new lives and careers in the Netherlands — share their personal stories about escaping conflict, finding safety, and rebuilding identity through laughter.
Through the theme “In Someone Else’s Shoes”, the show invites audiences to experience the world through the eyes of those who have fled and those still searching for freedom. Expect an evening that is both confronting and inspiring — filled with resilience, diversity, and connection.
