About the artists
Emily Higgson is an American stand-up and sketch comic with a knack for turning everyday weirdness into onstage weirdness. Featured performer at Boom Chicago and two-time Funny Women Award semifinalist, Emily is staple of the European comedy scene, friends have described Emily as “kind of funny” and “average height”. Emily has described herself as “extremely funny” and “very tall”.
.Jess Bauldry is a writer and comedian who claims to have quit being a people pleaser, but let’s be real—she’s still saying “yes” to things she hates. These days, she’s hard at work perfecting her resting bitch face—just kidding, she still smiles at strangers in grocery stores like a weirdo.
When not performing around Europe, Jess is the author of Substack The Alternative Expat Guide to Luxembourg and likes to steal other people’s chips.
Rachel Morton-Young is an award-winning comedian and energetic Brit. Based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, she is an established act on the English-speaking comedy circuit in the Netherlands and performs across Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany.
As a scatty mum of two who thrives on organised chaos, Rachel's life is a constant source of inspiration for the comedy she writes and performs. In her comedy sets, Rachel paints a picture of her life as an expat, living in a country with the most unsexy language, accepting random customs and traditions, and navigating a sometimes unique approach to raising children.
Rachel has performed at several comedy festivals and received great audience reviews for her solo show, Dutch Courage at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2024:
“Rachel is very warm and friendly and engages well with the audience. I laughed so much”
Tamar Levi is a comedian and artist who sells out both kinds of shows in Brussels. She's also from Alaska and wedded to a Greek, so there's a lot going on. But the paints and publications keep her from overthinking things. Just kidding. Without a cathartic sketchbook, her brain would've melted outta her nostrils long ago.
Sharon VS spent many years suppressing her comedic talent inside a full time corporate HR career. Finally realising that she's terrible with people, in 2022, she co-wrote a stand-up show and took it to Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This completely changed her life. She now only works part time in HR.
Off stage you will find Sharon VS gathering more material by raising a teenager in Germany.
Sharon VS is a co-producer of Festrogen, the Luxembourg-based comedy festival for feminists of all genders, and a co-founder of Random Things Comedy Cologne, an inclusive open mic.
Anshita Koul is a Berlin-based, internationally touring standup comedian from India. When she is not touring, she is performing, hosting and producing three comedy shows in Berlin (Comedy Bazaar, Word On The Street, Jokes' On Us) and a quarterly joke writing workshop. Anshita made her debut in the standup world from the Indian reality TV show Queens of Comedy in 2017 and was most recently seen as the opening act for Emmy Award winning comedian Vir Das on his European tour in October 2024. Also seen on Funny Women Stage Awards 2022 in the UK, Copenhagen Pride Stage and headlining several international shows all over Europe. Anshita just returned from a historical India's first ever Queer Comedy tour. She is also a co-founder of Festrogen.
Mari Volar is a comedian, MC and event producer from Estonia. She can often be seen on stage in various cities across Europe, where she performs as an independent comedian, or hosting comedy events with her various comedy collectives. Mari proudly brings more feminism into her comedy and more comedy into her feminism, creating a over-the-top mix in both that simply cannot be missed. She is a co-founder of Festrogen.
This event is organised by Festrogen Festival, a platform that aims to inspire and support women in comedy while levelling the playing field for performers from under-represented groups.
The festival is organised with the support of the Luxembourg Culture Ministry.
