Kaktus

During this year's Teaterfest, comedian and storyteller Jonis Josef will invite you into a vivid, honest and often surprising portrait of a life that is shaped "on the edge". In Kaktus, he conveys stories from his background, his journey and the choices that have made him who he is — with both warmth, humor and seriousness that follow each other closely.

Kaktus is Jonis Josef's first solo show since "Woke" which premiered in 2020. Kaktus is an honest stand-up performance where Jonis digs deep and hard to reflect on his career, life, burnout, racism, ups and many downs.

Jonis has created award-winning series such as "Kongen Av Gulset" and "Kasko", has been seen on programs such as "På Tur Med Monsen", "Kongen Befaler" and more. He also recently went viral worldwide on the American SoMe program SubwayTakes which has been watched by over 20 million people at the time of writing.

The 2020-2022 Stand-up Prize winner has spent over five years completing Kaktus, and you are all most welcome to come up close and get to know Jonis Josef and his unique, and at times strange journey through life.

Jonis has spent the past year alternating between living in Oslo and New York and has received a lot of attention in the USA. Kaktus is Jonis' last Norwegian tour before he moves out of the country again. If you want to experience the phenomenon Jonis Josef live, this may be your last chance!
