SUMMARY:Funny Women Amsterdam | Nadine Froughi - Daydreamer
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Volta as Nadine Froughi\, two-time Funny Women semi-finalist\, presents her debut solo hour! Nadine returns to the stage where she performed her first 5 minutes in 2022. Expect a multimedia musical-comedy romp filled with PowerPoint\, feminine rage\, and catchy songs. This high-energy show is for the daydreamers and situationship survivors.  \n  \n\n\n\n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nStand-up comedian Nadine Froughi is performing her debut solo hour for the first time\, after doing her first-ever 5 minutes with That Comedy Thing in 2022.  \n\n\n\n🎤 Stand-up comedy special in English \n🕰️ This is the 18.00 show\, for the 20.30 show \n⏳ Seating is limited\, book your tickets in advance before they sell out \n📍At Volta in Amsterdam West (near Haarlemmerplein and Westerpark) \n  \n–About this show– \nNadine Froughi is a Daydreamer. \nIn this\, her debut comedy hour\, she’ll take you on a multimedia musical-comedy romp through the no-man’s land between real life and her daydreams. \nQuestions like\, “Where is she really from?” “Who’s the world’s most famous frog?” and “Did this bit really need a PowerPoint presentation?” will be asked and answered in an hour of comedy that’s high-energy\, relatable and ever so slightly sincere. \nExpect songs about things that probably don’t need them\, a splash of cultural confusion\, a healthy dose of feminine rage and potentially a little too much insight into why this woman is Still Single™. \nThis show is for situationship survivors\, PowerPoint aficionados\, karaoke overachievers\, and anyone who’s ever wondered if the grass was greener on the other side. \nNB: She’ll be performing the majority of this show in her regular accent. \nOpening act: James Vaughan.
