MC'ing at the Utrecht International Comedy Festival in March 2023.
The literature festival Read My World is one of my favorite festivals. In 2022 I performed my spoken word piece "Where is my language" during the programme Tongues at the festival.
Storytelling walks as part of the storytelling festival Vertel! of Theater Kikker in 2020 and 2022.
Interview in the Utrecht Uitkrant about being a comedian. About how you often encounter yourself in the profession, how you sometimes feel like you're on the market (although I think that's fun, by the way), and still keep going.
