Andre Manuel

In 'The Lonely Soul', André Manuel plays the last comedian on Earth, tasked with making a room full of bloodthirsty artificial intelligence laugh. The stakes are high: if he succeeds in amusing the machine, humanity survives; if he fails, a flesh-eating robot hits the market and mankind faces extinction.

He opens with a thoroughly inappropriate, extraordinarily hostile, and needlessly offensive joke.

Manuel has been known for over 25 years as a hard-hitting satirist. His shows are packed with incorrect jibes, harsh jokes, and insults - but he deploys them with such intelligence and purpose that the Volkskrant concluded: "André Manuel is one of the most interesting cabaret performers in the Netherlands."

Press on André:

"Sensitive souls have no place with Manuel. He loves to step on toes while treating the audience to a challenging triumphant gaze and a sardonic grin. Yet you feel the ironic undertone as he portrays himself as a fighter for free speech." - NRC

"With that twisted mind, it's a delightful hour and a half of enjoyment, chuckling, roaring with laughter, and smirking." - Theaterkrant
