Jan Linssen - Isn't that chic!

“Limburgers are slow” they say. Well, how chic is that! Because slow is not lazy. Slow is taking time, enjoying, observing, and persevering. For fifteen years, Jan Linssen has been building his comedy career at his own rhythm and with his typical calm flair. Now the moment is there: his second show, ‘Sjiek is mich dat!’, a warm ode to slowness, authenticity, and his Limburg roots. But this show is not just about Limburg. Jan investigates how origin shapes us and how we simultaneously try to break free from it. Relatable for everyone who was born somewhere and sometimes balances between pride and the thought: “Chic all, but how do I get out of here with all those canceled bus stops?” 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 calls himself too sweet, too modest, and sometimes also really too slow. But perhaps that is precisely his superpower. ‘Sjiek is mich dat!’ is a relatable, warm, and surprisingly sharp comedy show about identity, tempo, pride, and staying yourself — even when the world seems to go too fast.
