After nine Lotto Arenas and two AFAS Domes with his successful year-end conference ‘Houdt het voor bekeken’, Xander De Rycke returns to where it started twenty years ago: pure stand-up comedy with sharp observations and personal stories. It has been a few years since Xander's last update on a stage. So there is a lot to catch up on. Confronted with parenthood and his approaching fortieth birthday, Xander does what every man at that age does: look back wistfully and cling convulsively to his youth. ‘Back to the Beginning’ is a comedy show about returning to the beginning, about comparing, and daring to be unadulteratedly nostalgic.
