Mustafa Algiyadi, a stand-up comedian from Munich, brings his eclectic humor to the stage by hilariously addressing the cultural clashes between his Libyan-Arab roots and European life. The show dissects everything from bad habits and religion to meditation and coming-of-age stories with velvety sofas. Everything is presented with a semi-intellectual flair that adds to the strong impostor syndrome it has.
This show is for anyone who has ever felt alienated - whether you're an expat trying to fit in, a local curious about the crossroads of cultures, or just looking for a fun night out.
