Nele tries too hard. All her life, she has been a good little girl. She gets straight A's on every report card and eats all her vegetables with a grim smile. Nele does what is expected of her. Nele is a bit stressed out. And so tired, dead tired. Nele wants something different for once. Nele is turning forty soon. She is too old for this. It has to end. It is time to finally become a naughty child.
"Mijn Best" is the first solo show by Nele Needs A Holiday. Featuring new songs and way too long spoken interludes. Do you sometimes feel like the only loser on this planet? No worries, Nele is here to comfort you with a series of relatable songs full of self-deprecation. Bittersweet never tasted so good before.
