London is Great
Jakob Kerkhove / Free Festival • Amateur Company
About the show
London is Great is a free stand-up comedy and storytelling show performed by Jakob Kerkhove through the Free Festival at Little Cellar. The show takes the audience on a journey through the highs and lows of life in London, told through the eyes of someone who discovered that leaving Spanish tapas behind was the least of his worries — British immigration and employment-based visas proved far harder to navigate. Brutally honest dark comedy guides you through corporate insanity with a theme of accountability. Suitable for ages 18 and above.
Why see this show?
A sharp, personal comedy about the gap between the dream of London and the bureaucratic reality — told with the insider perspective of someone who actually lived it. Honest, dark and free to attend.
