Rayen Panday

Getting what we deserve is something we always use for others, but hardly ever for ourselves. We attribute karma to "the universe" while we ourselves decide when and where it should happen. However, karma is originally a principle that refers to the performance of actions, but not the consequences. It literally means "action" and does not distinguish between good or evil... But anyway, let's focus fully on this performance for now.

Full of stories, comedy, current events, and music. No dancing. Probably no dancing. That depends a bit on your karma.

About Rayen Rayen (Zaandam, 1983) participated in an open stage for stand-up comedy in 2008 during his law studies. In the same year, he won the Personality Prize in the final of the Groninger Student Cabaret Festival. Since then, Rayen has been active as a stand-up comedian and cabaret performer. In 2010, he became a regular at Comedy Café Amsterdam and began working on his first full-length cabaret program. In February 2023, Rayen completed his sixth show "Focus". In addition to his theater performances, he is also known for his many appearances on TV programs and at festivals such as Lowlands and Paaspop. Rayen has been part of Comedytrain for years and has also been successful abroad; he has performed in 18 different countries. This is partly why he was asked, as one of the three Dutch comedians, to record his own Netflix special in Comedians of the World.
