Bob Koomen: Pear
From Amsterdam • Professional company
About From Amsterdam
Bob is a genius — but the world doesn't see it yet. He has good intentions and even better ideas: ideas to help the world, but the world often acts as if he is the one who needs help. Presented by From Amsterdam, this absurdist stand-up show explores the strangeness of being alive and searches for something to hold on to in this weird existence. Bob Koomen is a member of the Netherlands' most renowned comedy collective, Comedytrain. The show runs for 60 minutes at The Worker Room and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. Tickets are £7.
Why see this show?
Dry, philosophical absurdism from a Dutch comedian with a distinct point of view. If you enjoy comedy that sits with existential discomfort rather than trying to resolve it, Bob Koomen's perspective is well worth an hour.
