Work In Progress Vol.2 - Standup Comedy in English
SHOW DESCRIPTION
Ever wondered where killer jokes come from before they hit the special?
The Work In Progress open mic brings you front-row access to comedy in the making. Every edition, six hungry up-and-coming comics get five minutes to test fresh riffs, unpolished gems, and raw material alongside two seasoned pros doing slightly longer sets breaking in their next big bits. It’s loose, unpredictable, and fast-paced. You might catch pure brilliant spontaneity or glorious experimental chaos. Either way, you get to say you heard it here first.
Doors open at 7:30PM. Show starts at 8PM.
FEATURED ACTS
RAM ARANGI
Ram Arangi is one of the most prolific Indian stand-up comedians touring Europe, performing everywhere from intimate comedy clubs to sold-out theatres. With 30 sold-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, appearances opening for the legendary Russell Peters, and features in Rolling Stone & BBC, Ram has taken his comedy across Europe and India. Having lived in five countries, he’s turned a lifetime of cultural confusion into an international comedy career. His Indian parents remain unconvinced.
DANIEL YAZBEK
Daniel Yazbek is one of the fastest-rising voices in the Amsterdam comedy scene. Known for his sharp writing, quick improvisation, and brutal self-awareness, his comedy walks the line between personal confession and controlled chaos. In just four years, he has already shared stages with international acts such as Michelle Wolf, Morgan Jay, and Sam Morril.
MEET YOUR HOST: KURIAKOSE VAISIAN
Kuriakose has been doing stand-up since 2017, joking about his life, his wife, his family at large, and Jesus Christ. That's a joke of course; he never makes jokes about his wife. He's performed in multiple cities across India and Europe, and has appeared on Comedy Central India's Sterling Reserve Comedy Project as well as PayTM Insider Live Mic sessions. Kuria's humor is a mix of observational and anecdotal, drawing a lot of inspiration from his own life and the things that happen around him. That includes the two kids he now has the privilege of being a father to. Heavy is the head that sees a baby crowning. He’s currently working on his one-hour special, Parental Advisory, which will start touring in 2027.
