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.

Opening Act: Mohna Joshi
Rashi, the desi comedic voice of Amsterdam, you may know her from her viral TikToks and Reels 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’.
