Marjolein Robertson is a Scottish comedian, improviser, and storyteller. Born in Lerwick, on the Shetland Isles, she first started performing with Shetland Youth Theatre at the age of 13. After graduating from the University of Edinburgh, she was working as a town planner, saving for a mortgage, when she and her partner decided to move to Amsterdam on a whim. A series of catastrophes followed.


Marjolein lost her home and her job, then landed in a Dutch improvisational comedy class, and began studying improvised comedy and stand up. Since then, she has become one of Scotland’s most exciting young talents, reaching the finals of the BBC New Comedy Awards in 2022 and Channel 4's Sean Lock Comedy Awards in 2024. Her solo show ‘Marj’ was nominated for two awards at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 and released as a comedy special, and she is about to embark on a UK-wide tour with her new show 'O'.
