Jan Jaap Van der Wal, Amor Fati

“That’s Latin. Then we know for sure that Prime Minister Bart De Wever approves. \r Fate brought me to this wonderful country 10 years ago, where life is fantastic, but where things also go fantastically wrong so very often. That too is fate, and that too I embrace with pleasure. \r Jan Jaap van der Wal is now a 10-year “Flemish person in training” and has become an indispensable fixture in Flemish theaters and on television. The love is mutual, and to celebrate that, Jan Jaap is bringing his biggest show yet to Flanders. \r “Because whether we perish from a possible war, or from a budget deficit, or choke on a shrimp croquette by the sea; perish we will, so let's do it with a big smile.” \r Jan Jaap van der Wal has been a comedian for nearly thirty years and has created four full-length shows in Flanders since 2015, including the highly acclaimed election conference “Geen Stem”. On television, he made a splash as a jury member of De Slimste Mens ter Wereld and as a presenter of De Ideale Wereld and Jan Jaap Op Zondag.
