What happens when a privileged woman suddenly becomes “a person of colour”? In her debut solo show, Rashi takes you on a witty, funny, emotional and deeply personal journey of immigration, identity, and the unexpected realities of moving from India to the Netherlands.
Through a blend of comedy and storytelling, she explores her first brush with racism in a country that prides itself on tolerance, while reflecting on the irony of having lived life in India with all the comfort and invisibility that comes from being the oppressor. From battling sexism in India to facing racism in the Netherlands, this show invites you to walk an hour in her (big) shoes to laugh, to reflect, and to maybe see the world a little differently.
Whether you’ve lived this experience, never thought about it, or somewhere in between, this is for anyone curious about what it feels like to become a person of colour... overnight.

Person of Colour Reviews ✭✭✭✭✭
“So impressed by Rashi’s capacity to blend emotions with societal topics. She will make you cry, laugh and question your own ways of looking at the world." - Claudia
"It was not just funny, but also raw, real, and you could feel the emotion. And that makes a really good comedy, more than a comedy. It was brilliant and I would travel over a 100 to see her again." - Naushaad
"As an Indian woman living in Amsterdam, so much of what Rashi talked about felt instantly relatable. She was funny, honest and natural on stage! Seeing a woman bring her perspective unapologetically to the stage made the experience truly amazing!" - Aswathi
You may know Rashi, the tallest Indian in the Netherlands, from her viral videos on everything Dutch culture, along with tackling important social issues like feminism, ethical fashion, white privilege, and colonialism. Hailing from South India, she has become more Dutch than she would have liked, living here for 6 years, but still won’t shy away from pointing out that ‘broodje kaas’ is not ‘lunch’.
