Love is Profit - A comedy special by Anya Zova and Karan Karthik

Beschrijving

What happens when Karan Karthik a male Indian comedian living in the Netherlands and Anya Zova a female Russian comedian based in the USA bring their wildly different perspectives on love and dating?

You get "Love is Profit," an interactive comedy show where love meets bottom lines and passion meets practicality.

Armed with wit and plenty of real-life stories, these two comedians dive into the profit-driven side of relationships. They take questions from the crowd about love, dating, and sex—then break down your most complicated romantic dilemmas using a mindset built on ROI and sustainable bonds.

Expect a clash of hilarity and insight as they riff off each other’s crazy life experiences and unique cultural takes. From optimizing first dates to calculating the cost-benefit ratio of ghosting, they’re here to make you laugh, think, and question if maybe, just maybe, love and business aren’t so different after all.

If you’ve ever wondered whether love is just good business—or if business can lead to love—this show is for you. Bring your questions, bring your dates, and leave with a new outlook (and maybe a few spreadsheets).


About the comedians :

Anya Zova : Anya Zova’s life story sounds like someone mixed action movies with stand-up comedy—and we mean that literally. Born and raised in Russia, she somehow managed to graduate law school and become a Kickboxing World Champion by 20, because that’s just how she rolls. Then she packed her bags, left Russia, and took her high-kickin’ ambition to America, where she signed with WWE and thought, “Why not add ‘professional wrestler’ to the list?”

After a few good slams, she switched gears to acting, showing up on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and MacGyver, among others, and eventually found her true calling: making people laugh. Anya’s spent the last two years globe-trotting, performing stand-up, producing documentaries, and making the rest of us feel like we need more hobbies. In 2023, she launched her own comedy series, “Masters of Comedy,” at the Faena Theater in Miami Beach, because hey, she’s got a lot of stories to tell.


Karan Karthik : Karan Karthik : Born in India, grew up in confusion and finding home in the Netherlands.Karan is many things. But most of all, he is a bundle of contradictions. In another life, this stand-up comic from faraway India could have started a cult. In this life, well it's not over, so we never know. But until then he's happy to regale you with stories that are hilarious yet thought-provoking. From prejudice, racism, sexism, and mental health, to relationships, love, and choice, no topic is too controversial or off-limits. This one is guaranteed to have rolling in the aisles, while still making you think.

A regular face in the Netherlands comedy circuit, has been a feature in concept shows for more than once in comedy festivals such as UICF, MAD Goat festival.

"Genial and funny, Karan offers a comedic trip that will twist your sides better than overpriced yoga."Max van Dijk (OMG! Groningen)

“Karan brilliantly blends comedy with psychology, leaving audiences both entertained and introspective!” - Rami Nima (Dutch Comedy Legend)
