Alina Sharipova (try-out)

Alina Sharipova wants everything at once - and preferably now.

In her debut show, she tackles difficult themes with the precision of a storyteller who is both charming and ruthless. She has a sharp sense of timing, lands her jokes with surgical accuracy, and engages the audience in witty ways. Sharipova digs into herself without hesitation and knows exactly when to strike. She won the Leiden Cabaret Festival in 2026 and has been one of the regular comedians at Comedy Club Haug in Rotterdam since 2023, where she has performed alongside René van Meurs and Theo Maassen, among others. She also performs in English and has opened for Taylor Tomlinson and Nate Bargatze.

Alina Sharipova was born in Uzbekistan and grew up in Belgium. With candid humor and an unflinching perspective, she explores identity, upbringing, and life between two cultures.

Press about her:
"It was no surprise that the jury chose the 34-year-old Sharipova, who as a stand-up comedian has already performed extensively at Rotterdam's Club Haug, among others. 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 she makes it all sound very soft, poetic and harmless." - Theaterkrant
