ALWAYS ON! - Pieter Verelst

In his new comedy show, Pieter Verelst provides an honest look at what is really going on inside that absurd head of his. Altijd Aan is a relatable show about wanting to live, wanting to experience everything, being a lot for others, but still just a little too little for yourself. How do I become normal? Do I even want to be normal? And what is wrong with a little chaos and a unique view of the world? Join the search for Pieter’s ‘off switch’ in that wild, witty jungle of his: his brain! Cabaret artist, comedian, actor... you cannot put just one label on Pieter Verelst. He studied and took his first comedy steps in the Netherlands. In 2014, he debuted with his comedy show ‘Mijn Broer and I’ and immediately won the Groninger Studenten Cabaret Festival. Two years later, he also won Cameretten. This opened the big gate to Flanders and he was, just like Jade Mintjes, seen as one of the 8 promises in ‘Voor De Leeuwen’ on één, vrt. With his second comedy show ‘Amai’ and his next one, ‘Ten Aarzel’, he has firmly put himself on the map as a comedian. He received rave reviews and was seen as one of the most exciting comedians of his generation. A selection from the press ‘A show as full, weird, surprising, and exuberant as his own brain.’ - Humo ‘Met Altijd Aan proves Pieter Verelst once again to be among the sharpest cabaret artists in Flanders: a show that serves up roaring laughter, chaos, and emotion all at once.’ – Theaterparadijs ‘Pieter Verelst turns out to be the Grand Cru Champagne among comedians. A virtually perfect, sparkling show. A top-notch pianist and insanely good singer.’ – Knack Focus
