✨Dublin, Ireland🇮🇪✨

One of the coolest things about this job is that I get to travel.

Last week, I went to Dublin. I'd been a couple of times before (once to do a gig which was more of a flying visit, and once with an ex-boyfriend where I really don't feel I saw much of the city besides pubs)

This time I had a bit more time, and wanted to see more of the city, but it was super rainy so instead I visited the Guinness factory.

Listen, obviously this is basically a tourist trap - but I loved it. It's a museum/experience in the old Guinness factory. You go through levels of what are essentially art installations where you get little nuggets of information about how they make Guinness (the most informative probably being the bit where they talk about the coopers - which was a skill that is now essentially useless). Then at the top, you get a Guinness. I love Guinness! Highly recommend.

If it's not raining (and good luck in Dublin) you can walk along the canal which is also pretty spectacular. The whole city had its twinkle lights already turned on for the Christmas season, so it was pretty much perfect.

Next time however, I will try and actually see some of the city.

Happy December!

A couple of weeks ago, a journalist from the Volkskrant (NL) came to visit me in London and she wrote this article. It's one of the biggest newspapers back home so this is a pretty big deal to me and you have to celebrate your Ws.

This was my very first video that went big on social media. It's such a silly interaction, but I remember the other comics saying to me: you should post that, it's funny. I had no idea how much people (especially people who are bilingual) would end up relating to this little thing.

Anyway, prost! (and yes that is the German version, not Dutch) X

✨ONLY FANS EXCLUSIVE - PART 1✨

Last year, I recorded an album of stand-up comedy and filmed it. I've used clips of it on various social media platforms, but never put it out anywhere as a whole.

I'm going to put it up here, 10 minutes at a time, and I hope you guys enjoy the unedited raw joy of this performance. One of my faves and I'm not going to take anything out, so it feels more authentic.

I love comedy so much, and this is the first full set I ever recorded, so I'm very proud of it.

Good morning,

I feel like I spent all of last month glued to television, social media and newspapers to try and figure out if I live in a bubble and it turns out I do!

Some people think it’s weird for us Europeans to be so invested in an election that happens on a different continent, but I grew up with the whole ‘the US is the leader of the free world’-rhetoric and honestly, it’s still hard to see it as anything else.

It won’t come as a surprise to anyone that I was hoping Kamala would win and that I’m pretty disappointed that she didn’t. I was so hoping that women’s rights to make choices over their bodies would be returned to them with a Democrat in office, but unfortunately we’ll have to listen to an orange lunatic for another 4 years. 

I’m bummed, but I’m also happy I no longer have to follow this circus and can get on with my life. 

Anyway, that’s just what has been on my mind, and I wanted to post about it.

Back to comedy :)

Last weekend, I spent the day looking at the animals on one of London's City Farms.

Over the past few weeks, I've been travelling and I haven't spent much time at home. Getting to get up on a Sunday without my alarm going off at some ungodly hour, then having a lazy meander around town with a friend felt like I was finally starting to go back to normality a little bit.

I love my job, and I love the fact that I get to travel all over the world to do it, but one of the best parts of travelling is coming home.

I love lazy days so much more now than I ever did before!

✨MILESTONE ALERT✨

Last week I got to be a guest on ‘De Avondshow met Arjen Lubach’ which is just one of the coolest things I’ve ever been a part of.

I absolutely loved it, the people, the show, the audience and all the lovely responses I’ve gotten since then.

I feel like I’m travelling too much to let it all in, but I’m so excited to have been a part of it🥰

I’m beyond excited to sell out ‘De Kleine Komedie’ in only a few days.

When I was a student at the University of Amsterdam I used to cycle by there and see all the famous Dutch comics advertised and I absolutely never thought one day that would be me.

And now it is. So cool.

When I’m out gigging, especially like right now when I’m flying around, I love when I book hotels for myself, because it’s always the saddest room you’ve ever seen in your life as opposed to when people book rooms for me which are usually quite nice.

I always think ‘it’ll be fine’ and then I get to the hotel and I think: ‘oh no actually I think I’ll get murdered here’

✨Prague and Helsinki Ft. Wall, Rain and The Perfect Drink✨I ..

✨Prague and Helsinki Ft. Wall, Rain and The Perfect Drink✨

I arrived in Prague on a very, much too early flight for the schedule of a comedian. In a groggy state, myself and my friend went to check out the Fortress. I kept saying to him how much I liked wall, and he kept saying to me to please add the article and say 'the wall'. This was crazy, as wall and I had a very special bond almost immediately and I obviously know what to call it even if he doesn't. Photo 3 gives you an indication of the beauty of wall, which I have included for any wall efficonados.

In the evening we were told about Havelská Koruna, a restaurant that sold traditional Czech cuisine. The menus were in Czech, there was absolutely no effort made to accommodate tourists and I loved it so much. I got what I think was a beef stew with bread dumplings that was honestly heaven and I'm still thinking about it a week later.

The next day we had a lot of pretty plans to visit all of Prague's hotspots, but unfortunately these plans were rained away. We made it up to the castle (see video) but after that I chickened out, went back to my hotel and crawled under the duvet.

Helsinki, the end of this weekend's travels was much better, weather wise, but the highlight of this trip was that my stage outfit perfectly matches a favourite Finnish drink (Gin&Grapefruit). The first photo is me with my gin-twin.

Lastly, the elevators at Helsinki airport were very cool and I felt like straight out of a movie so there's a video of that too.

Next week, Haarlem & Paris xx

✨Copenhagen, Aalborg & Oslo ft. Heatwave and All Things Pickled✨

I'm travelling all over Europe as part of Comedy Stop, a comedy festival that takes acts all over Europe (see bin). Our first stop is Copenhagen, which I have never been to and is experiencing a bit of a heatwave. This means that I now think of Copenhagen as an exclusively sunny place where people swim in the bay all year round. It's heaven and we should all move there.

The second highlight was the food. Turns out my taste in food is heavily Scandi. Open sandwiches?? Everything is pickled?? Cardamom and cinnamon are your main spices???? I loved it and want to move there.

We flew from Copenhagen to Aalborg on a tiny plane. It was my first time flying on such a small plane, which is lots of fun (possibly just due to the fact that the weather was impeccable - not sure how it would feel when flying in any kind of 'weather')

Last on our stop was Oslo - at this point I was too exhausted to do any sightseeing which is a real shame because I'm sure Oslo is amazing. My only sightseeing I did was walk to my venue. It was an hour walk and I will say that the vibes were excellent from what I could tell.

Next up, Prague and Helsinki xx
