All English Comedy Night - Comedyhuis Utrecht
2026-05-22 20:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Amsterdam) | De Kargadoor, Oudegracht 36, Utrecht, Utrecht, 3511 AP, Netherlands
Stand up comedy was born and raised in the English language, and for one night in Utrecht… it is coming home.
At the All English Comedy Night, Comedyhuis opens its doors to a handpicked selection of the finest English speaking comedians performing across Europe and beyond. Whether they are seasoned headliners, rising stars, or circuit favourites, each act brings a distinct voice, perspective, and comedic style to the stage. The result is a vibrant, unpredictable evening that reflects the full spectrum of modern stand up.
Performing comedy in a second language can be impressive. Performing it in your first language, in front of an international crowd, is something else entirely. This night is all about that extra sharpness. The rhythm, the nuance, the timing, the cultural references that hit just a little bit harder. You will see comedians working at the top of their game, delivering material the way it was meant to be heard.
Expect a mix of styles and perspectives. Observational comedy that finds the absurd in everyday life. Personal storytelling that reveals the strange, awkward, and occasionally beautiful realities of being human. Cultural commentary from comedians who have crossed borders and are now trying to make sense of Dutch directness, cycling etiquette, and the mysterious social rules of birthday parties. Some will be insightful, some will be ridiculous, and some will be both at once.
At the centre of it all is your host for the evening, Steven Morgan, guiding you through the night with warmth, quick thinking, and just enough mischief to keep things interesting. As MC, he connects the acts, builds the atmosphere, and makes sure the room feels alive from the very first moment to the final applause. No two nights are ever quite the same, and that is part of the magic.
Because this is live comedy, the line up may shift right up until the last moment. That unpredictability is not a bug, it is a feature. It keeps the night fresh, dynamic, and full of possibility. You might see a comedian you already love, or discover someone entirely new who becomes your favourite by the end of the evening. Either way, you are part of something that only exists in that room, on that night.
The All English Comedy Night is more than just a showcase. It is a meeting point. A place where locals, internationals, and visitors come together to laugh at the same things, even if for slightly different reasons. Comedy has a way of cutting through cultural differences, and for a couple of hours, the shared experience of laughter creates a connection that goes beyond language or background.
If you have ever thought about trying stand up yourself, this is also the perfect place to get inspired. Comedyhuis English Comedy Courses offer a welcoming and supportive environment to explore your own comedic voice, whether you are stepping on stage for the first time or looking to develop your material further. Watching experienced comedians perform live is often the spark that gets people started.
And if you find yourself wanting more, there is plenty to look forward to. The Utrecht International Comedy Festival brings together top comedians from around the world for a celebration of stand up in all its forms.
But this night stands on its own. A room full of people. A microphone. A line up of comedians ready to share their sharpest ideas, strangest stories, and most unexpected punchlines. No scripts, no filters, just live stand up as it is meant to be experienced.
So whether you are a long time comedy fan or just looking for a great night out, the All English Comedy Night is your chance to experience stand up in its purest form. Bring your friends, grab a drink, and settle in for an evening where anything can happen, and probably will.

The Haters' Ball - All English Comedy Night
2026-05-02 20:45 - 22:00 | De Kargadoor, Oudegracht 36, Utrecht, Utrecht, 3511 AP, Netherlands
Welcome to the Haters’ Ball: A Descent into Dark Comedy
Utrecht is a city celebrated for its stunning medieval architecture, serene canals, and famously polite society. It is a place where bicycles gently rattle over cobblestones, and locals sip coffee in picturesque cafes. However, there is a distinct undercurrent of rebellion bubbling beneath the surface, waiting for the sun to set. Leave your polite sensibilities at the door and prepare yourself for an evening of spectacular savagery.
Welcome to the Haters’ Ball. This is not just another pleasant night out; it is the most notorious, unrelenting, and side-splittingly brutal night of stand-up comedy in the entire city. Hosted by the legendary Comedyhuis, this strictly All English Comedy Night takes the traditional stand-up format, tears it to shreds, and dances on the remains.
The Venue: The Underbelly of Utrecht
Situated at the iconic Oudegracht 36, the venue itself provides the perfect backdrop for this descent into comedic madness. Deep within the historic wharf cellars of the city centre, the arched brick ceilings create an incredibly intimate, almost gladiatorial arena. The acoustics are designed to capture every gasp, every shock, and every roaring wave of laughter.
When the lights go down in this subterranean cavern, the outside world and all its rules of etiquette simply vanish. What replaces them is a raw, electric atmosphere where the only currency that matters is how hard you can make the room laugh, usually at someone else’s expense.
The Art of the Roast: Where Nothing is Sacred
The Haters’ Ball is entirely dedicated to the time-honoured art of the roast. For the uninitiated, a roast is a unique comedic discipline where the usual rules of polite engagement are entirely suspended. It is a celebration of sharp-tongued insults, unapologetically dark humour, and the kind of razor-sharp wit that leaves a mark.
While modern entertainment can sometimes feel overly cautious or sanitised, this particular event serves as a magnificent antidote. It is a place where comedians are actively encouraged to cross the line, find the line again, and then obliterate it completely. This night is about celebrating the sheer, wicked joy of a perfectly crafted verbal takedown.
Gladiators of Grief: The Line-up
Of course, pulling off a successful night of relentless insults requires an exceptionally high calibre of talent. For this special edition, Comedyhuis is bringing together a fiercely talented roster of top-tier international comedians. These are seasoned professionals who have honed their craft in comedy clubs across the globe, from the bustling circuits of London and Edinburgh to the vibrant scenes of New York and Sydney.
However, the Haters’ Ball demands something entirely different from their usual polished routines. Instead of delivering their tried-and-tested observational humour or charming personal anecdotes, these comedians will be turning their formidable talents against one another.
Picture a stage filled with comedic heavyweights trading barbs, dissecting each other’s flaws, and finding the most hilariously cruel ways to take their peers down a notch. It is a psychological battle of wits where no topic is off-limits and no ego is spared. You will witness comedians picking apart their colleagues’ appearances, career choices, personal lives, and deepest insecurities, all in the name of entertainment. The beauty of this format lies in the contrast between the viciousness of the words and the underlying mutual respect required to deliver them. It takes a remarkable amount of trust and camaraderie for comedians to verbally destroy each other so thoroughly, making the resulting laughter all the more genuine and infectious.
Front Row Folly: A Warning to the Brave
The danger does not stop at the edge of the stage. A crucial element of the Haters’ Ball is its thrilling unpredictability, and that includes the audience. If you are brave enough to purchase a ticket, you must understand the risks involved, particularly if you choose to sit in the front row.
The front row at this event is essentially the comedic equivalent of a splash zone. While the comedians will spend plenty of time roasting each other, they are always looking for fresh meat. A rogue haircut, an unusual outfit, or simply making eye contact at the wrong moment could instantly make you the target of a masterfully crafted insult. Sitting near the stage requires a thick skin and a willingness to become part of the show. It is a fast-paced, high-energy environment where the performers feed off the tension and reactions of the crowd.
If you are singled out, the best course of action is to simply laugh along and appreciate the immense skill it takes to construct a joke at your expense in real time. Naturally, if you prefer to observe the carnage from a safe distance, there are plenty of seats further back where you can enjoy the show without the fear of becoming the punchline.

Essential Event Information
To ensure you are fully prepared for the chaos, please keep the following details in mind before securing your tickets:

Content Warning: This show contains incredibly adult themes, colourful language, and unapologetically dark humour. It is strictly not for the easily offended.

The Vibe: Fast-paced, high-energy, and completely ruthless.

Location: Comedyhuis, Oudegracht 36, Utrecht.

Language: The entire performance will be conducted in English.

Dynamic Line-up: The world of live comedy is unpredictable. The line-up of international acts can change at the very last moment due to touring schedules or surprise drop-ins.

Updates: For the absolute latest news, announcements, and final line-up confirmations, you are strongly advised to keep a close eye on the official Comedyhuis social media channels.

The Final Verdict
Ultimately, the Haters’ Ball is more than just a comedy show; it is an unforgettable, cathartic experience. It is a rare opportunity to gather in a dark room with strangers and laugh uproariously at the darkest, most forbidden thoughts we all secretly harbour. It is a celebration of language, timing, and the incredible resilience of the human spirit when faced with a brilliantly constructed joke.
Gather your bravest friends, prepare your absolute best defensive laughter, and head down to the cellars of the Oudegracht. It is time to embrace the chaos, revel in the insults, and experience the very best of the worst that comedy has to offer.

🎭 20:00 – Teacher & Me
In this unique showcase, easylaughs flips the script: it’s the students who take center stage—with their teachers at their side.
Our community is full of passionate, talented improv students, and for this special show, we’ve created dynamic duos by pairing them with experienced easylaughs teachers. Each pair will perform a short-formatted piece, co-created and discovered in real time, drawing on the chemistry and creative energy of the moment.
Among the exciting pairings for this evening is Steven Morgan performing with Nandita Dhir. This fresh duo brings together Steven’s sharp theatrical instincts and Nandita’s emerging voice as a playful, imaginative performer. Having recently completed easylaughs’ basics and musical improv courses, Nandita steps into the spotlight with her teacher for a once-in-a-lifetime improv experience—no script, no safety net, just connection and surprise.
Each performance will be distinct, ranging from heartfelt to hilarious, clever to chaotic—and everything in between. Whether you’re new to improv or a seasoned fan, you’ll get a unique glimpse into the collaborative spirit that drives the easylaughs community.

🎬 21:00 – Tarantino (Improvised)
Lights. Camera. Mayhem.
Strap in for the second half of the night as our ensemble cast brings you the easylaughs improvised Tarantino play—a wild, cinematic journey into a world full of tough-talking antiheroes, cryptic monologues, uneasy standoffs, and sudden explosions of emotion and violence (the fake kind, don’t worry).
In this fully improvised homage to Quentin Tarantino’s iconic style, every line drips with tension, every choice matters, and every character has something to hide. Will you witness a twisted revenge plot, an absurd criminal deal gone wrong, or an unexpected alliance forged in blood and banter?
We won’t know until we step on stage—and neither will you.

About the Comedians:

Zuva Martens (Zim)
Zuva Martens began his career as a stand-up comedian in 2016. Since then he’s represented The Netherlands at Stand Up for Eurovision in 2023, he’s been tour support for Bassem Youssef, Todd Barry, and Fern Brady, and he’s written for BBC TWO’s Mock the Week panellist Ria Lina.
He is a comedian with a sharp edge hidden in his soft and fluffy exterior. A bit nerdy and bit political, he finds the funny in his personal life, culture, and politics— mostly at his own expense. Touring all over Europe, Zuva is quickly becoming one of the most talked about comedians on the European comedy circuit.

Steven Morgan (Wal)
Described as “Robin Williams during his coke days times three” (Out Of Order Podcast), Steven is a Welsh standup and improviser who has performed across the world from Japan to Jakarta. With an energy that borders on the unhinged, Steven cut his chops in Brisbane, Australia where he ran the Brisbane Fringe Festival and performed at the curated Brisbane Comedy Festival both in 2017. Since moving to The Netherlands he’s gone from strength to strength, running the legendary LYFAO comedy night and joining the easylaughs cast in 2020. He’s a regular around the country and can often be caught at comedy venues around thrilling audiences with his infectious energy and cutting wit.

Hermes Ahmadi (Afg)
An Afghan comedian living in the Netherlands, Hermes’ comedy is all about the clash of cultures!
He has always been fascinated by human behavior, so he decided to study sociology. When he found out humanity is even weirder than science can explain, the logical step for Hermes was to become a comedian. But let’s be honest, he himself isn’t normal either, with his weird diet and hitch hiking habit!
