Thao Cao: What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Funnier - English Stand-Up Comedy

Sun, 6 Sept 2026 · 20:00
Side Splitters Comedy, Brussels
The show opens with a contamination event. It ends with a humanitarian crisis. In between: dry, deadpan storytelling that finds the punchline in the parts of life you're not supposed to laugh about. Thao has been doing comedy since 2014 and has taken her stand-up from Sydney's clubs to stages across Australia and the UK, including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and multiple runs at the Edinburgh Fringe. Expect sharp one-liners, personal storytelling, and a deadpan delivery that sneaks up on you. Fresh off the Edinburgh Fringe, audiences said: "Thao Cao is so funny. My ribs hurt." "A feel-good hour full of laughs." "Stories that felt personal and genuine." "Funny 50 minutes - go see it." You'll laugh, you'll cringe, and somewhere in the madness, you might just see yourself. This is a pay what you want show - come along, laugh, and pay what felt right on the way out. L'Amère à Boire, St Gilles Sunday, September 6th Doors 19:30 · Show 20:00 Pay what you want
