Jan Linssen - Isn't that chic!

A recognizable, warm, and surprisingly sharp comedy show about identity, tempo, pride, and staying yourself. funny – recognizable – sharp – warm - story-driven “Limburgers are slow,” they say. Well, sjiek is mich dat! Because slow is not lazy, but taking time, enjoying, observing, and persevering. In his second performance Sjiek is mich dat!, Jan Linssen brings a warm ode to slowness, authenticity, and his Limburg roots. But this show is not just about Limburg. Jan examines how origin shapes us and how we simultaneously try to break free from it. Recognizable for anyone who balances between pride and the thought: “Nice and all, but how do I get out of here with all those canceled bus stops?” From his youth in Maaseik - with carnival, fairs, and the what-will-the-neighbors-say mentality - Jan walks to today. Along the way, the coal mines, smurf pie, the Eburones, and a handful of prejudices pass by. Jan calls himself too sweet, too modest, and sometimes too slow. Maybe that is precisely his superpower. Besides being a performer, he is also a much-sought-after humor writer for, among others, De Rechtvaardige Rechters, De Weekwatchers, Taboe and Twee tot de Zesde Macht, and he worked as head writer for Kamal Kharmach.
