Rise of the Olive
Laser Kiwi

The world’s only surreal, sketch circus, a uniquenight out with a cocktail of comedy, circus and spectacle.. 

Get ready for a bizarre and hilarious rollercoaster of a show with the world's only surreal sketch circus! New Zealand circus trio Laser Kiwi are bringing their acclaimed show Rise of the Olive to the Netherlands for the first time, marking their European premiere. 

Laser Kiwi creates a unique mix of circus, bizarre sketches and gevatte Engelstalige stand-up comedy. Perfect for an evening full of laughter, existential insights and spectacle of the highest level. 

The trio consisting of brothers Zane and Degge Jarvie (New Zealand's best jugglers) and Imogen Stone (a world-class aerial acrobat) is one of the “rising stars” in the circus and comedy world and has won prestigious awards such as the Overall Circus Award at FringeWorld 2023 and Best Circus and Physical Theatre at Adelaide Fringe 2019. They have also been nominated for the Ish Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2024. 

What can you expect? World record upside-down juggling, Jenga stunts, innovative aerial acrobatics and of course… an abundance of olives. All served with 3D glasses and a healthy dose of absurdity. 

After the show you can order a delicious Martini (with olive of course) at the Martini bar, specially made for this evening! 

Prepare for a bloody good night out
