Stand-up comedyshow meets nightmare-musical
Kaatje Kooij (NL)
Kaatje Kooij’s Stand-Up Show: De Musical is a stand-up comedy show meets “nightmare-musical” in which Kaatje Kooij breaks taboos and overturns sacred cows of motherhood. In a world where you have to abandon all ambitions as soon as a child slips out of your crotch, Kaatje wants to still be on a stage and score. She wants to showcase and celebrate the laughs on her ass.
What begins as a stand-up show full of hilarious outpourings about mediocre mothers and a body in decline ends up as a dark musical in which Kaatje sings all the things she is afraid to say. A performance that embraces the discomfort of a mother who longs for something other than just being a mother and once and for all dispenses with the idea that women are not funny. Get ready for a gooey musical one-woman show where the painful jokes and pumping beats will fly around your ears.
