Heavy Meta
According to Christia In the garden house of Tolhuistuin, Christian Boscheri presents his comedy show 'Heavy Meta'. In his words:
"“Wow, this show-description really makes me want to watch this show.” This is what you just read. “This is what you just read”. This is what you just read. And now you are thinking “Wait, what?”.
Can I read your thoughts? No. But I can write them. I wish I could continue writing your thoughts, but they only gave me 150 words for this show-description. Now that I think about it, I could have used these first 78 words better. 81 now.
The show is called Heavy Meta. Meta as in meta-humour, meta-comedy, meta-theatre. Not Meta as in Mark Zuckerberg. I don’t want you thinking about Mark Zuckerberg when thinking of this show. Stop doing that!
Heavy Meta a show about a comedian who loves self-referential humour: humour that refers back to itself, like this sentence. And he feels guilty for not having a higher message. Which he might find, with your help."
About our event partners
Cristian Boscheri is an Italian, Rotterdam-based performer working at the intersection of theatre, dance and comedy. He previously worked as an engineer at TU Eindhoven and co-founded Stichting wedowe before committing fully to the arts in 2024.
He has been a (break)dancer for twenty years, winning his first national championship in Italy in 2009 and Open Your Mind, an international experimental dance competition, in 2023. From dance he began exploring mime, clowning and stand-up comedy, although he doesn’t consider what he does to be stand-up comedy. He calls it X-comedy, a form combining self-referential humour, clowning, small-scale physical comedy and audience interaction. The X is a placeholder because he doesn’t know which word belongs there. He has performed regularly on stand-up and alternative comedy stages since 2024, reaching the finals of the Comedy Talent Award twice in 2025.
His previous show Pleaser, performed at Amsterdam Fringe 2025, is rooted in dance and clowning. Heavy Meta is his new and first full-length performance without dance, built around self-referential comedy and language.
