Alina Sharipova

Alina Sharipova wants everything at once - and preferably now. To be together without losing herself. To be gentle and confront. To comfort and be angry.

In her debut show, she tackles difficult themes with the precision of a ruthless storyteller. Her timing is flawless, her jokes are razor-sharp, and she engages the audience in a witty way. She digs into herself without hesitation and knows exactly when to strike. She won the Leiden Cabaret Festival.

Sharipova was born in Uzbekistan and grew up in Belgium. Since 2023, she has been one of the regular comedians at Comedy Club Haug in Rotterdam, has appeared regularly at O.P. De Liefde, and has performed alongside René van Meurs and Theo Maassen. She also performs in English and has opened for Taylor Tomlinson and Nate Bargatze.

"With her Russian name and Flemish accent, she has a compelling story." - de Volkskrant

"With her melodic Flemish accent, she makes the crudest sex jokes and tells shocking stories, yet makes it all sound soft, poetic and harmless." - Theaterkrant
