What do we do?
Stand-Up Europe aims to professionalise the blossoming international comedy circuit around Europe and to establish a cross-border community of performers and organisers. We act as a connecting hub by coordinating tourdates around Europe and by promoting the English-speaking comedy circuit.
Projects
Among other initiatives, we have set up European showcase shows at the Utrecht International Comedy Festival (NL), accompanied by video portraits of some of the acts involved.
We also produced a series of comedy talk shows around European culture from a venue across from the European Commission.
