English Comedy Night w/ Edo Berger & Raul Kohli

12maart

-20:00

Ixelles|Show, Theatre

Two of our regulars are back at The Black Sheep, with new ideas and jokes, and to our greatest delight. Raul Kohli Raul has fast become one of the most captivating Asian acts on the UK comedy circuit. As one of the few Asians to have grown up in the far North East of England (Newcastle) he’s blessed with a worldview that upends ethnicity, culture and class. Kohli combines ‘Superb political comedy’ (The Scotsman) with surreal storytelling. His debut Edinburgh Fringe show in 2016: Newcastle Brown Male was one of BBC Radio 4, Huffington Post & the Skinny’s top picks, while his most recent: 'All My Heroes Are Dead, in Jail or Touched Up Your Nan' was nominated for Best Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival. Raul won Hackney Empires New Act of The Year following in the footsteps of Stewart Lee, Lee Mack and Ardal O’Hanlon and now appears regularly at some of the biggest comedy clubs around the World. ‘Funny, Moving, Powerful’ - Mile Reiss (Writer/Producer - The Simpsons) "A powerful, passionate, open-minded, intelligent voice. It is superb political comedy and commentary” The Scotsman “A Powerhouse” Steve Bennet, Chortle ‘Inspiringly Intelligent’ Paul Sinha Edo Berger Edo won several Dutch comedy festivals before expanding to performing in English. His performances have brought him to Moscow, Budapest, Oslo, Edinburgh and Tokyo, among others. Edo tends to chase any idea that comes into his head like a puppy behind a firetruck. As a result, he built a museum out of cardboard for a Spanish village, scored a summer hit called 'Girls with Ice Cream' and spent six weeks creating a deepfake of famous film scenes for his sister's wedding. He worked as a journalist and presenter for several youth shows on radio and TV. For the Dutch radio station 3FM he made items in Latvia and South Africa and for the public broadcaster NCRV he kept a videoblog of his experiences as a volunteer in an orphanage in Nepal. In 2013, he created the documentary Dictator van de Comedy, on the comedian’s love for anecdotes about horrible comedy gigs. __________________________________________________________________________ Doors open at 6:30pm Show starts at 8pm book your table : theblacksheep.brussels(at)gmail.com

Diana - Dernières heures à Paris

10maart

-19:00

Brussels|Show, Theatre

Daniel Bourdon était le policier en charge de la sécurité de Lady Diana lorsqu'elle a été transférée à l'hôpital de la Salpêtrière après son accident, dans la nuit du 31 août 1997. Incarné sur scène par Dominique Thomas (qui a notamment joué dans les films et séries Barbe-Bleue, Le Placard, Petits meurtres d'Agatha Christie, Commissaire Moulin...), Daniel Bourdon revient sur les faits qui ont mené au drame (une voiture vouée à la casse quelques années avant l'accident, le stratagème mis en place par Dodi Al Fayed pour échapper aux paparazzis...) ainsi que sur ses derniers instants aux côtés de la princesse. L'acteur incarne le flic, nous livre ses états d'âme, et déroule le récit des derniers instants de la princesse. Comme pour une enquête policière, les circonstances de l'accident sont dévoilées, avec une mise en scène et une dramaturgie puissante, qui plongeront le spectateur au coeur de l'action. C'est une histoire particulière contée avec émotion, dans laquelle le flic parisien s'est retrouvé par les hasards de la vie, à veiller sur la femme la plus aimée de sa génération. La représentation sera suivie d'un bord plateau avec Daniel Bourdon, le vrai, au cours duquel les spectateurs pourront poser les questions qui leur tiennent à coeur. __________________________________________________________________________ Ouverture des portes : 18h Spectacle : 19h
