About the Performers
Meet the people who make the room come alive with laughter and energy.
Rachel Morton-Young
Rachel is an energetic and chatty British comedian, based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. She is an established act on the English-speaking comedy circuit and the owner of Mad Cow Comedy. Rachel organises and hosts the International Comedy Showcase in Utrecht and Bonobo’s Comedy Night in the Hague, as well as hosting shows and performing frequently at comedy clubs throughout the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
Hager
This Egyptian born stand-up comedian can usually be found looking for a decent happy hour and reading the latest infectious diseases update - only in the hopes it would make her material go viral. After an entirely non lucrative career trying to save the world, she’s now going for public self-flagellation through comedy. Which is in itself a kind of humanitarian relief. Her credits include opening and closing shows for guys who have opened shows for other guys who once started out opening and closing shows for some more guys. She's gigged, MC-ed, roast battled & improv'd in Holland, Japan, Ireland, Belgium, Spain, the US and in her car.
Rob Lemmens
Rob is a funny Dutchman with high energy and low standards. His annoying optimism is a guarantee for fun interactions and weirdly relatable content. Rob has been turning life's lemons into comedy, because he doesn't know how to make lemonade. But it did bring him both the jury and audience price of the English Comedy Talent Award 2026 in the Netherlands.
Kristina
Kristina is a Russian-Finnish comic who is both mortified and thrilled by doing comedy. A seeker of playfulness in visual arts, she decided to let the awkward side of herself take center stage. From darkness to songs, her performances make the less socially skilled among us feel seen and heard, while leaving the rest pondering.
Nira Tal
Nira Tal is an Israeli comedian based in Rotterdam, known for her dark observational humour, dry delivery and fearless honesty.
Performing since 2018, she is a house comedian at Comedy Club Haug and has performed at comedy clubs and festivals across the Netherlands and internationally, including Lowlands. Her brutally personal takes on relationships, motherhood, ageing and everything we're apparently not supposed to say out loud have also reached millions of people online.
Dubbed “the Jewish Ali Wong,” Nira toured her debut solo show Nearly Tall in 2025. She is currently developing her new hour, Grounded — an intimate and darkly funny look at what happens when you reach your forties, after twenty years of marriage, when the life you built starts raising uncomfortable questions about love, desire, and whether monogamy is really the only way to stay grounded.
