The Cyclepaths Comedy (02 December)
The Cyclepaths are one of the longest-established English language theatre companies in The Netherlands. This December they’re are back in Theater PePijn for their 7th season with a whole new series of 3 entirely improvised shows – unscripted, uninhibited, and slightly off kilter. The Cyclepaths use audience suggestions to craft scenes, characters and narratives – and laughs, too. Shows touch on current affairs, the surreal, the bizarre and hilarious. Especially suited to an expat audience, but comedy guaranteed for all.
