English Stand-up Gothenburg Decolonized

ENGLISH COMEDY GOTHENBURG PRESENTS: DECOLONIZED Two comedians. One former empire. A whole lot of unfinished business! Thursday, November 26 | Potatisen, Gothenburg | Show starts at 19:00 What happens when an empire loses its power but refuses to lose its attitude? Get ready for **DECOLONIZED** – a hilarious, sharp and unconventional stand-up comedy show exploring identity, history, culture and the sometimes-uncomfortable realities of modern Europe. Lisbon-based comedians **Rodrigo Oliveira and Brandon Aguirre** take the stage to deliver their unique perspectives on living in the former colonial powerhouse that everyone loves to visit, nobody quite respects, and few seem to remember for what it once was. From colonial history to modern European identity, from sunshine and wine to the uncomfortable hangover of empire, these two comedians turn history's biggest contradictions into comedy gold. Their approach? Getting decolonized by moving to the colonizer's land – and trying to keep a straight face while the empire slowly fades into history. Expect sharp observations, cultural clashes, unexpected perspectives and plenty of laughs. Because history may be written by the winners, but comedy is written by whoever gets the last laugh! Featuring -Rodrigo Oliveira Lisbon-based comedian with a fresh take on identity, culture and European life. Brandon Aguirre Joining Rodrigo for a hilarious journey through the contradictions of a post-colonial world. Supporting act: Div Sidhu. Bringing
