Mesakke Bangsaku
2013
Mesakke Bangsaku for me is the proudest special show. Bhinneka Tunggal Tawa and Merdeka Dalam Bercanda, of course I discuss my anxiety. But it was only at Mesakke Bangsaku that I actually got on stage because I wanted to spill my heart out. I am really worried and concerned about some of the issues I raise. It's not just that it's funny, I really want the audience to know what's going through my head. Follow my narrative, understand why I can say "Poor My Nation, Mesakke Bangsaku"

2025 ยท โ 7
Registration of the theatre program by the Dutch comedian Tineke Schouten. Schouten is taking a different approach to her show.

How do you hang up the banners then? And does Tineke really have a fetish for shoes, phones, or computers? Maybe she should give her unvarnished opinion or have a deeper conversation! Of course, Tineke will join the audience in putting things into perspective and laughing at our own shortcomings, interspersed with songs, accompanied by top-notch musicians.
