From his youth in Maaseik — with carnival, the big and small fair, and the eternal what-will-the-neighbors-say mentality — Jan walks to today. Along the way, the coal mines, smurf pie, the Eburones, and a handful of delicious prejudices pass by. Because how do others look at "us"? And how do we look at ourselves?

Jan is not only a comedian and performer; he is also a much-sought-after humor writer.
