Today, that same voice has made him one of the most watched, respected and consistently viral comedians in the world. His comedy is matchless, his storytelling unparalleled and he will knock you off your feet and have you roll the isles with laughter at the same time. Now visiting Europe for the first time in his career, Amsterdam audiences will have the unique opportunity to experience this absolute comedy phenomenon firsthand.
