What do you get when a lecturer and a student counselor step out of their universities and walk onto a comedy stage? Chaos, culture clashes, and punchlines for days! Meet Nira Tal, a sharp-tongued academic trying to outsmart her midlife crisis, and Karan Karthik, a no-nonsense counselor navigating expat life one awkward encounter at a time.

Both immigrants living in the Netherlands, Nira and Karan couldn’t be more different ; she’s all intelligence and wit, while he’s all sarcasm and chaos. But together, they take on everything from Dutch quirks to midlife meltdowns, turning the struggles of immigrant life into comedy gold.

Now, they’re bringing their show Double Trouble to London for the very first time at the iconic Camden Comedy Club. One stage. Two perspectives. A double dose of trouble you won’t want to miss.
