Schedule

Location

Huis van Iemand Anders | Amsterdam, NH

This isn’t just some comedy show—it’s a full-blown therapy session with booze, where we can all laugh at the absurdity of our lives.
About this Event

So, you’re at that stage. Multiple midlife crises—because apparently, one isn’t enough. Suddenly, you're thinking, "Where the hell is home?" and "Who am I?"—classic midlife existential crap.

And let’s be honest, it’s not really a crisis without some wild sexual fantasies, psychedelics, and desperately trying to feel alive.Maybe you’ve hit rock bottom with an eating disorder, or you’ve realized that everything you thought about success and happiness is a joke. But here’s the thing—we’re all stumbling through this mess together. We’ll laugh, we’ll cringe, we’ll probably overshare, but that’s the point.

Everyone’s invited. Young, old, somewhere in between—bring your baggage, your unsolicited opinions, and let's get brutally honest, and just admit that life’s a chaotic mess. Because if we’re all lost, we might as well get lost together—and maybe find something worth laughing about along the way.

Luana Matei (Ro/NL) & Friends




REVIEWS from past audiences:

"Luana is your friend who always has a story to tell, except her stories are always funny. She did a particular set for the audience on the day that I saw her, mixing up her material. It worked!

Her humour resonates with me and it will resonate with you too: yes, you can laugh about communism and infidelity and bad sex and parents (oh, parents!) and ninjas and sleeping your way around the world. Her humour is messy and dark, because, well, life is messy and dark. Yes, it is her story that she tells, but it is very much your story too.

I smiled all through the show and laughed with my own husband and my friends (I thought appropriate to bring to the show not only my husband but also my best friends, whose wedding I celebrated ;) I’d go again to her shows when she comes to my city!" Gaia

"Invited my partner on our anniversary and it was great! Think of Luana as the Mouth Of Truth and be prepared to hear some truths and laugh at all of them! I have never been asked so openly when was the last time I had sex, or if we cheated on each other (ps yes we did but we fixed it). Anyone in need of a sex talk, give it a try;)" Monika Rimini

--------------

"Went to see this today and and had such a laugh! The show felt personal, like a catch up with a good mate! I am a lover of dark humour and perfectly timed jokes and this had it! Had a brilliant time and I’d defo recommend!" Kelsey Christie-whelan

--------------

"Saw this show as a last minute decision. Didn't stop laughing! The performer really knows how to captivate their audience and is a great storyteller. " Amber Leadbetter
