What does an Ethiopian with crippling anxiety and a clumsy lesbian twin have in common?
They are both Swedish, both chaotic, and both trying to make sense of identity through laughter.
This stand-up split bill unpacks the pros and cons of nationality, heritage, sexuality, and absolute nonsense — exploring what it means to grow up between cultures and misfortune.
Expect self-deprecating humour, queer confusion, and the kind of jokes only two people navigating different worlds (and the same IKEA furniture) could tell. It's about how piecing your life together isn’t as easy as flipping through an IKEA catalogue and more confusing than the assembly instructions to an IKEA wardrobe. There might be a few screws missing.. Like when you put a chest of drawers together with and allen key but it will have to do because you don’t have enough money to replace it. We’ll end with a game where the audience guesses Swedish words, like ‘Fart’ meaning ‘Speed’ and ‘slut’ meaning ‘end’ on sale signs.
