Jan Jaap van der Wal // Amor Fati

'That is Latin. Then we know for sure that Prime Minister Bart De Wever likes it. Love for fate. Fate brought me to this beautiful country 10 years ago, where life is fantastic, but where it also so often goes fantastically wrong. That too is fate and that too I embrace with pleasure.' Jan Jaap van der Wal is now 10 years 'Fleming in training' and can no longer be imagined out of the Flemish theaters and on television. The love is mutual and to celebrate that, Jan Jaap brings his biggest show to date in Flanders. 'Because whether we go under due to a possible war or a budget deficit or we choke on a shrimp croquette: go under we will anyway and let's do it with a big smile then.' About the makers Jan Jaap van der Wal has been a comedian for almost thirty years and has made four full-evening shows in Flanders since 2015, including the acclaimed election conference Geen Stem. On television, he made a furore as a jury member of De Slimste Mens ter Wereld and as a presenter of De Ideale Wereld and Jan Jaap Op Zondag.
