Alina Sharipova ^try-out

Alina Sharipova knows what she wants: everything at once. And preferably now!

She wants to be together without losing herself. To be gentle, but also confrontational. To comfort and to be angry. Alina lives life to the fullest, in her own way. In her debut show, she tackles difficult themes with the precision of a charming but merciless storyteller. She has a flawless sense of timing, delivers her jokes with razor-sharp wit, and involves the audience in her act in a witty way. This brand-new winner of the Leids Cabaretfestival is relaxed and dangerous at the same time. She digs into herself without hesitation and knows exactly when to strike. Sharipova is one to watch in the coming years!

The press on “It was no surprise that the jury chose the 34-year-old Sharipova, who has already performed a lot as a stand-up comedian at, among other places, Club Haug in Rotterdam. With her Russian name and Flemish accent, she has a fascinating story” - de Volkskrant "With her sing-song Flemish accent, she makes the crudest sex jokes and tells shocking stories, yet she makes it sound very soft, poetic, and harmless.” - Theaterkrant
