Himself
Theo Maassen is back. In all its anger, indignation, amazement about so much stupidity and lack of empathy in society, and advocates understanding and reconciliation.
Mind you is the fourth theater of the Dutch comedian Hans Teeuwen. He performed the show in 2001. The last show was filmed in 2002 and aired on television, the same year that the show on CD and DVD published. It's Teeuwen's most famous and most frequently quoted show. He takes everything on the heel, including racism, blacks, world religions, AIDS patients, women, Jostiband and the Queen of the Netherlands.
Video registration of the first comedy special by Dutch comedian Janneke de Bijl. After graduating in philosophy, De Bijl expresses her insight into the meaninglessness of life in her comedy. In her first comedy special she rants about her relationship, her sluggish environment and the whole self-help culture, which she has of course tried out for herself first. Janneke answers questions such as: how do you know whether to close your mails and why running doesn't solve anything?
Teeuwens fifth stand-up show is about love. Small, large, hidden, the physical, the famous and the improper love. Hans Teeuwen unravels that love into forms that you do not recognize, but can very surely sense.
Maassen won two of the biggest comedy contests in the Netherlands in 1990, the Groninger Studenten Cabaret Festival(GSCF), and Cameretten. The GSCF jury was not pleased with the quality of the contestants that year, and gave Maassen the first prize, remarking he was the best of the year, but still not very good. In the following years, however, Maassen fame grew steadily, especially amongst students. Maassens style was based on stand-up comedy: Alone on stage, telling jokes and stories to amuse the public, without any musical support (a thing common for most Dutch comedians up to that point).
The perfect way to get acquainted with Philippe Geubels' infectious humor or to relive a wonderful evening of live stand-up comedy.

Xander De Rycke has had enough. Comedian Xander De Rycke has a new project. The creator of the popular podcast "Mosselen om half twee" (Mussels at half past one) is releasing a special about his secret love: the Flemish media landscape. Over the past year, De Rycke has watched just about every Flemish film and TV program.
In his first comedy special the Flemish comedian Pieter Verelst tells a bizarre story about his childhood, which he spent with his brother (existing or not) in a boring village in Flanders. Together they tackle this dullness and use it as a source of inspiration for a strange creativity.
Stage registration of the comedy special from 2018 by the Dutch comedian Patrick Nederkoorn. Nederkoorn tells about his political career. What inspired him to become a councilor one day. What abject views has he defended? What empty words did he utter? How can you lose yourself in something you believe in so much and then find yourself again?
Live registration of a concert by the Dutch musical comedy duo Yentl (Schieman) en (Christine) de Boer. They sing songs about Hogwarts, the men they knew, claiming a seat in the public transport and many other things. With musical accompaniment by the musicians Laurens Joensen, Jan Teertstra, Viktor van Woudenberg and Charlie Zastrau.
