After a successful sold-out Edinburgh Fringe run as one of the top reviewed comedy shows of the entire festival, Marjolein Robertson's 'Marj' comes to Mareel to end her UK tour. Local comedian Marjolein, BBC New Comedy Awards and Funny Women Stage Awards Finalist, brings her twice award nominated hour of surreal stand-up and Shetland folktales.
As well as having its successful Fringe run, Marj was also shortlisted for the (ISH) Edinburgh Comedy Awards for Best Show and the Neurodivergent Divergent Review Awards for Best ADHD show.

"The light and shade that she blended together and captivated the audience with was spellbinding, there were times when the club roared with laughter, other occasions you could have heard a pin drop." ★★★★★ One4Review
