Luxembourg has many communities. Bankers. E urocrats. People who will do anything to put distance between themselves a nd their family.
But one group has quietly\, diligently\, and with remarkable good humour held this whole country together. For one night\, they're done being quiet about it.
The Portuguese are taking the stage.
.That's right. T he people who built your apartment block\, staffed your hospital\, and the n had the audacity to also be funnier than you\, they now want forty-five euros for a ticket. Kidding. But they do want your full attention.

This is a standup comedy show about expat life in Luxembourg's m ost beloved\, most numerous\, and most likely to offer you a pastel de nat a community. What's it like to leave Portugal for a country where it rains sideways and people consider a 12-minute queue at the post office \"basic ally Tuesday\"? What happens to your accent\, your identity\, your relatio nship with bacalhau? These are the questions. The answers involve games\, silliness\, and at least one moment where you turn to a stranger and go&nb sp\;\"oh my god\, same.\".
Alexandra Neves\, Joana da Costa and Marta Correia are three comedians who have col lectively felt every feeling about living here — the absurd bureaucracy\ , the three official languages (mansplaining being the third one!)\, and t he mysterious pride Luxembourgers feel about a country the size of a mediu m car park. Holding it all together (barely) is MC\, Jess Bauldry (UK).
It's also being recorded live (audio only). So if you laugh at something you probably shouldn't\, that's going in the archive. Congra tulations.
