Xander De Rycke targets the Flemish media and entertainment world in a special edition of his popular HHVB show. And yes, Streamz is also getting beaten.
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.
Xander De Rycke, still Belgium's youngest professional comedian and yet already a veteran, presents his greatest hits in 'Ten years on the road, two hours of fun'. Xander De Rycke is the court jester of a generation. His trilogy has come to an end, and the time is ripe to look back on 'Uw Zoete 666' (Your Sweet 666), 'Mijn Zwarte Parade' (My Black Parade), and 'Zijn Derde Show' (His Third Show). This 'best of' performance is a two-hour cocktail of his best jokes and even a few fun new ones!
Since 2016, Xander De Rycke has been touring annually with 'Houdt het voor bekeken' (#HHVB), a comedy special about the past year in television and film in Flanders. Previous editions of HHVB focused on the future of Flemish media. Where are we headed? How far ahead are we compared to the rest, and where do we stand head and shoulders above the rest? HHVB 2018·2019 takes a different direction. Increasingly, film and television are treating us to that 'remember when?' feeling. Franchises are being rebooted, old celebrities are being brought back, and we also have to keep an eye on VTM's 30th anniversary. Was everything better in the past? Is there still room for originality? Or do Flemish people prefer to be wrapped in a blanket of nostalgia? We will discover this together and, above all, have a lot of fun in the fourth season of 'Xander De Rycke houdt het voor bekeken' (Xander De Rycke calls it quits)..
Ten years, three theater shows, and a best-of show later. A decade has flown by, and his thirtieth birthday is slowly creeping closer. But has Xander De Rycke learned anything over the past few years? Has he actually grown up, or does he just think he has? Flanders' best observational comedian is back and ready for the next step. With a head full of twists and turns, a bunch of colorful references, and an eye on the future, Xander De Rycke is back with "Quarter-Life Crisis." A show with relatable moments about life. Or at least a quarter of it.
Uw Zoete 666 was, accordingly to some, the best comedy debute of the last past years. Xander has toured for 2 years with this show, and claimed is position in the Belgian comedy circuit. He's here to stay, and this show proves it!

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.
Stage registration of the seventh comedy special 'Troosten' by the Dutch comedian Jochen Otten. His inability to make his daughter stop crying was the reason for Otten to make this performance about emotions. How can you reach someone's emotions.
We arrived at the end of Xander De Rycke's unholy stand-up comedy trilogy. The last thing we can do is finish it with a big bang. Lot's of drama, debris and some dirty jokes. Fasten your seatbelts, get ready for Xanders "dénouement"!

This is not an easy mystery to solve in all its subtleties. In the last paragraph, I give my take on the characters. I won't give away the principal spoiler. Still, if you want to exercise your Sherlock skills to the fullest, skip that last paragraph. I'll warn you. A man leaves prison. He has been paroled. The best he can do at first is stay at a shelter for poor people and look for work. In the meantime he tries to reconnect with people he knows and to avoid the attention of several shady individuals that know him. That's the layout. The mystery elements arise from the fact that he is rejected by a few, pursued by a duo of suspicious looking men, and approached by a bunch of unsavory roughnecks that know him well. Why the rejection? Why the persecution? What is the gang about? The film is parsimonious about handing out hints and clues that we need to answer those questions. The best we can do is work out hypotheses and see if they pan out at the end.
