Stuart

Stuart is an accident prone Englishman who has been living in the Netherlands since 2001. Even his move to the country was an unintentional accident, the result of replying to a cryptic job advertisement he found one day in a local British magazine. Since then he has learned to love the Dutch (so much so that he married one of them) and now calls the country home. He started the blog Invading Holland in 2006 as a place to share his strange stories of language misunderstandings, cultural confusions and his own accident prone nature.

    Hi Oli. Good to see you again.

    The comedy cafe at Max Euwaplein is a different one. My group performers mostly at the Crea. Our next performance is not until the 6th of November though as part of an improv battle.

    But you will find Easylaughs at Crea every Friday. They are the group that taught my group and sometimes we are there in the audience and occasional get to perform as guests (I’m not going to be there until the 6th).

    You can find more about them here:
