Stand Up Comedy In Broken Englush with Victor Patrascan

Laugh with Europe’s comedy nomad, Victor Pãtrãşcan - the rebel comedian-philosopher whose sharp jokes have taken him to about 60 countries, millions of screens, and even onto a few government watchlists (true story: he’s officially banned by the new Georgian government for being ‘too funny’). This show is packed with new material you haven’t heard before, so don’t miss it! Victor returns with his trademark style of comedy - bold insights, unscripted moments, and cheeky observations that make you think long after you laugh. He doesn’t provoke just to shock; with curiosity and care, he dives into politics, culture, religion, identity, and the topics we argue about online but laugh about in real life. Yes, Victor talks to the audience, but only to the brave who volunteer, so sit wherever you like (even the front row) because he won’t bother you unless you want him to. Whether you’re local, an expat, or just existentially lost, this show is a space to laugh at the absurdity of modern life - together. Come solo or bring a friend; either way, you’ll leave with something to think about. Shows sell out fast - get your tickets now!

Nani's Wonderland @ Kitengela Glass
Colour Untamed by Katie Simpson

Katie Simpson is a Kenyan painter whose work is an act of witness to the animals, landscapes, and fragile ecologies that shaped her from childhood. Born in Kenya and formed by an artistic environment surrounded by nature, the colours and textures of Africa have never left her. They are the ground from which everything else grows. Colour Untamed brings that lifelong conversation into full focus. Her paintings are ethereal explorations of the earth’s fragility and wildlife’s vulnerability, attempts to catch fleeting moments before they vanish, subjects held briefly in abstracted, luminous space. There is urgency in that impulse. Kenya’s wild places are changing, and Simpson paints in response – not with polemic, but with something more tender and more lasting.
