"The Cell" directed by Tom Hill

(19:30 - 20:30 - Theaterzaal)

What is it like to witness the inside of an improviser's brain?

The Cell is an improv show that locks an improviser in a sound proof cell with a camera for an hour straight while the onstage comedians dive into the captive comedian’s mind…right as it breaks.

One improviser is selected at random to be locked in a cell with nothing but a camera that is streaming their every move to a screen on stage – only they don’t know when they’re being watched and when they’re not.

As players onstage create a hilarious run of scenes, games, and monologues inspired by the madness coming from the cell, the captive comedian has to keep turning out a never-ending show without an audience, and without ever knowing when they’re being watched.

Created by Tom Hill (Amy&Tom), the Cell has been performed all over the world.

"CHEKHOV'S TOY GUN PEW-PEW EXCELLENT SHOW" by Doris Likes Everything

(21:00 - 22:00 - Theaterzaal)

In this monoscene-ish show “CHEKHOV’S TOY GUN PEW-PEW EXCELLENT SHOW!” Doris Likes Everything does what they do best - they play hard and silly in a space time continuum, taking you to a destination unknown, until it has been created together with the help of the audience. In the beginning of the show Doris asks for different objects that exist in the fixed location, and by the end of the show they have used all/some of them in the most obvious and not-so-obvious ways to ensue hilarity.

NEW FORMAT: "Solo for Two People" by Ty Bougs

(22:30 - 23:00 - Blauwe Zaal)

Life is made of strong choices.

But have you ever asked yourself: what would my life be like if I had made the other choice? Would it have been better?

This show allows you to live these choices, in parallel, and perhaps give you an element of answer.
