Mari Volar on Immigrant Humour and Comedy in Luxembourg

ARA City Radio

Comedian Mari Volar joins Erin for a fun, candid chat about her life, her comedy, and being an immigrant in Europe. Mari spending the last night of her tour "100% C*ntinental", in Luxembourg. In the show, which she has taken across Europe, including to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, she and a group of comedians delve into the immigrant experience. Mari jokes that while she’s a white Estonian with a European passport, she’s still faced her fair share of "what did you just say?" moments, especially when people assume immigrants all fit a certain mould. “I’m an immigrant too, you know!” she quips. Her comedy doesn’t shy away from tough topics, but she insists that humour is the perfect way to tackle societal issues without making things too heavy. On the subject of her comedy journey, Mari admits it all started by accident, which is a theme throughout her life. “My life’s been an accident according to my parents,” she laughs. But now, comedy is her career, and she’s loving every moment of it. Expect big laughs, diverse comedians, and a night of fun at her upcoming show.
