Comedy Cafth during our party weekend : walking in is allowed, walking out with a stomach ache from laughing is virtually guaranteed! These three comedians will take our stage: BERT PAULUSSEN Bert Paulussen is an up-and-comer from Oostmalle, in the Kempen region. For several years, he has been bringing audiences to tears of laughter at open mics and on lineups with his dry stage personality and atypical twists of thought. In 2023, the young stand-up won prizes at the Yellow City Comedy Festival (Geel), where he became the winner of the 1st Schaal Lies Lefever. Throughout his budding comedy career, Bert has already shared the stage with established names like Thomas Smith, Henk Rijckaert, and Bert Gabriëls - to name just a few - and last season he was selected as a participant in Get Up Stand Up , the training program that prepares a new generation of comedians for the stage. ALI HAMMANI After his studies in Commercial Engineering, Ali chose to disappoint his parents and enter the world of comedy. First for years as a writer for performances and various TV programs, and since June 2025 also as a performer. On the one hand, to curate his own art without anyone else doing violence to his words, and on the other hand because Robbe Boons kept pushing him to stand on the stage of The Joker. Ali focuses on the things that connect us: how we deal with our differences. He covers themes such as identity, sex, his love-hate relationship with drugs, and does not hesitate to take a critical look at current events. ROBBE BOONS Robbe has been on stage since 2023 and won the prestigious Lunatic Comedy Award in 2025. He brings a sharp set with voice imitations, self-deprecation, and physical humor. A unique mix of engaged storytelling and unexpected 'tickles' that make you laugh - whether you want to or not. With his warm storytelling voice, he mercilessly takes on both himself and his fellow citizens. Whether it's about Flemish dialects, fatherhood, or French class: Robbe throws out everything he has, for the love of laughter! He wants to remind people that - despite everything - their glass is half full. Cheers! ,
