Comedy Stars vol.1: Marjolein Robertson (Scotland)

«Steal the Show» aims to bring top international comedy talent to Russia, giving local audiences a chance to see foreign quality acts live in their cities.

Our October Comedy Star, and the first one in the new season, is the amazingly funny Marjolein Robertson (Scotland)!

Marjolein Robertson is a critically acclaimed, up-and-coming Scottish comedian hailing from the Northern Isles of Shetland, has been performing stand up since 2014. She has since performed in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and is fresh from her third, 2019 Edinburgh Fringe run, where she performed her latest hour ’Marjolein Robertson: Da Shetland Spree’ in the world-famous Stand Comedy Club. As seen on BBC and heard on BBC radio, with over 20 million video views across different platforms.

Marjolein’s comedy is a mixture of true stories and surreal anecdotes, offering insight to growing up and living in the remote Shetland Isles. Observational comedy of the world and stories from multiple travels told from the entirely unique perspective of a small islander.
