English Comedy Double Bill | Namaste B*tches + Indian Auntie Goes Dating

zirkus theaterzaal, Antwerpen

One's looking for enlightenment. The other's looking for a decent connection. They both have one thing in common: both are praying for a miracle!

Join Kym Nelson and Mohna Joshi for two wildly different solo comedy shows, featuring the WORLD PREMIERE of Namaste B*ches... I'm Back! alongside Mohna's festival-tested (WIP) Indian Auntie Goes Dating.

About the shows:

Namaste B*tches... I'm Back! The yoga industry's worst nightmare returns! Former yoga teacher-turned-comedian Kym Nelson is back on the mat. This time, she's come to make peace with yoga. There's just one problem. Has the yoga industry forgiven her for Namaste Blisters? With familiar faces, outrageous new characters and more spiritual nonsense than you can shake an incense stick at, Kym takes another hilarious look at yoga, wellness and those who take it all far too seriously. Expect larger-than-life characters, audience participation and a few uncomfortable positions. Because forgiveness is divine. But holding a grudge is apparently very yogic!

Second half of the night:

Amsterdam-based English stand-up comedian Mohna Joshi shares her hilarious experiences of starting over in a foreign country at 50+, navigating the dating scene for the first time and tackling the unpredictable challenges of expat life. Through personal stories and plenty of laughs, she discovers that life doesn't slow down with age. If anything, it gets bolder!
