Your Host:

Malinda Perera

Malinda Perera is a Sri Lankan comedian currently based in Vienna, who started doing stand-up comedy in Vienna, Austria in 2016 and rose to success in a very short period. Having lived in Sri Lanka and Malaysia, he decided to move to Austria to do his masters degree in Business Informatics. In 2019, while he was a researcher at university, Malinda made a rapid career change by becoming a full-time comedian hoping never to look back. In 2021, to push his stand-up comedy career even further, Malinda moved to Dublin, Ireland.

Since taking the stage for the first time in 2016, Malinda has been exploring his inter-cultural experiences in a funny way and has performed and headlined in over 30 countries in Europe and Asia. His debut solo special “Not A Drug Dealer” was performed in 50 cities in 24 countries and had a sold out run in 2022. Malinda was also featured on Ireland's RTÉ’s hit sketch comedy series “No Worries If Not”.

Your Comedians:

Siavash Motlagh

Siavash is an Iranian Stand-Up comic currently based in Vienna, Austria. Starting his comedy career in Bratislava, Slovakia, he founded Joke's On You Comedy club which has regularly produced shows across Central Europe.

Jack Holmes

Jack Holmes is a British-born comedian based in Central Europe. Known for his high-energy performances, Holmes leaves audiences in fits of laughter wherever he goes. His jokes walk a delicate line between anger and absurdity, whilst tackling self-depreciation and cross-cultural observations to hilarious and heart-warming effect.

Holmes has developed a reputation as one of the hardest working comedians in Europe, often performing upwards of 200 shows a year, and has worked in 30+ countries over 4 continents. He was featured in Austria's first ever televised English stand-up Broadcast, has recorded Comedy specials and live albums and made appearances at major festivals (Sziget Fest, Utrecht International Comedy Festival and Panč), as well as opening for multiple household name comedians, all of which has cemented his as one of the names to watch for in the European comedy scene.

His new touring show, “Round man, square hole” is a laugh-filled journey about finding every group you belong to insufferable. From veganism and his punk band days, to resisting the cliches of being a married man, this sober, record-collecting, British-born, euro-trash comedian jokes and jabs himself apart to the glee of his audiences. An unpretentious and hilarious hour from a lovably gruff comedian who's very worried that being lovably gruff will be the next trend taken over by twats.
