Steven Mahieu: Stabieler with opening act: Karim Shatla

STEVEN MAHIEU - STABIELER (STABLER) A bit of irony is not foreign to Steven Mahieu. A week before he premiered his fifth theater show ‘Stabiel’ (Stable), his mental lamp started flickering seriously. The tour had to be canceled. In his new show ‘Stabieler’ (Stabler), Steven relives his months of confrontation, purification, and - fortunately - also humor. He learned that a person always plans for success in the future but never for failure. And also that it is better to use your mind to solve problems instead of creating them. Before you get scared that Steven has become an all-knowing guru, don't panic: this Mahieu is not yet stable either. But he is stabler. And that is enough. Over Steven Mahieu Met his debut show ‘MAHIEUSTUEUS’ won Steven Mahieu immediately the jury and audience award at Humorologie. This was followed by ‘Maniak’, ‘Zonder Filter’, and ‘Full Contact Tour’. These were always received with four stars in the press. ‘Stabieler’ is his fifth theater show. Steven is also known as an actor. For example, he plays Arne, the boyfriend of Chantal, in the comedy series of the same name Chantal on één, vrt. The third season of that series can be seen on Streamz, and this autumn also on één (VRT). Previously, you could also see him in ‘Nonkels’, ‘Doe Zo Voort’, and ‘Onder Vuur’. Press about Steven ● “His humor is painfully funny and cuts very sharply.” - VRT NWS ● “Full Contact Tour is a particularly hilarious and at the same time hard-hitting confrontation with aging” - De Morgen ● “The perfect balance between mockery and respect.” - De Standaard Over Karim Karim Shatla is a Bruggeling who approaches current themes like diversity and inclusion in an infectious way. He describes absurd situations that are hilarious and confrontational, combined with the right dose of self-mockery. Maar Karim is also mainly chill, and who knows, he might play a tune on his guitar here and there. Karim won the “Jef Staes” award in March 2025 as the most promising comedian of the moment. As a result, he receives extra support for a year to throw himself into his comedy career.
