Join Harshat and Fitz, two experienced comedians from Berlin with very different
cultural backgrounds. One, a brooding bad boy having grown up in the hustle and
bustle of India. The other, a confused small town country kid from New Zealand
trying to adapt to the manic German way of life. Given these two vastly
different backgrounds we have a mix of two competing comedic styles; dark, edgy
and punchy versus warm, cute and absurd - you guess who is who. Both equally
likable and hilarious. We aim to answer the age old question: is funny black and
white? Or are there shades of grey?
The Comedians:
Fitz is a comedian who has performed across New Zealand and Australia to sell
out audiences. He has brought his comedy to Europe having moved here in 2023.
Fitz's comedic style has been described as warm, punchy and energetic. His shows
are jam packed with absurd commentary on life in Europe and wild stories of
growing up on a farm in New Zealand.
Harshat Grew up between the chaotic concrete jungles and the equally chaotic
countryside of India. Currently, he is trying to forget the Bollywood remix
tunes but still bring a Desi angle to his comedy in Berlin. He derives his wit
from his satirical grandmother and his comedy is based on real life observations
and childhood tales. His funny bone was developed as a coping mechanism for his
chaotic upbringing and is now used to gain the attention he craves.
These two comedians couldn't be more different and have become friends in the
most unlikely circumstances. With this show you are really getting it all,
guaranteed laughs and very contrasting perspectives. Be ready to be left in
stitches saying to yourself "funny really is black and white".

The historic refectory of St Bavo’s Abbey is the backdrop of the Lauden
concerts. At dusk, you can attend four concerts that are a twist on the
liturgical tradition.
The ensembles have their roots in Ghent and each bring their ode to the power of
classical music. They combine passion, imagination and intimacy with musically
sophisticated repertoires.
