The International Comedy Festival Rotterdam

The International Comedy Festival Rotterdam (ICFR) is Rotterdams first and only comedyfestival and this year it will celebrate it`s third edition! On the 7th, 8th and 9th of October 2016, the city of Rotterdam will be taken over by stand-up comedy in all of it`s forms. Taking place at multiple locations with various capacities on the south bank of the river, the ICFR offers a catchy sample of the current state of stand-up comedy.

Why stand-up comedy?

Humor belongs to all people and is of all times. The ICFR profides humor for everyone who loves to laugh and wants to have a good time. Stand-up comedy is an increasingly popular art form amongst younger audiences. This genre places issues in perspective, be they trivial, be they essential. It criticises, explores the boundaries of what can and can’t be said and by that unites people. In stand-up comedy, the comedians also tackle the subject of being different. They show it is something to laugh about rather than something to laugh at. Humor and self-criticism are the key ingredients of a entertaining stand-up comedy show that you can relate to.

Locations

All the venues of the festival are located at Katendrecht and the Wilhelminapier in Rotterdam. The Rijnhavenbrug connects the modernistic Wilhelminapier with the authentic and picturesque Kaap. A lovely and dynamic area to move those abs during a dozen shows.

Perfomers

In stand-up comedy there is a wide range in types of shows, varying from alternative to mainstream comedy and varying from scripted comedy to improvisation. International Comedy Festival Rotterdam wishes to show stand-up comedy in its widest form.
