–About this show–
Nadine Froughi is a Daydreamer.
In 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.
Questions 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.
Expect 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™.
This show is for situationship survivors, PowerPoint aficionados, karaoke overachievers, and anyone who’s ever wondered if the grass was greener on the other side.
NB: She’ll be performing the majority of this show in her regular accent.
Opening act: James Vaughan. South African-born comedian James is a rapidly rising star in the comedy scene. Starting out less than a year ago, he is already a frequently seen face in comedy clubs like Club Haug, Boom Chicago and Comedy Cafe. In January 2025, he reached the final of the Tuna Comedy Contest, making him one of the ten best new comics to emerge from the comedy scene in the Netherlands.
