Amor Fati - Jan Jaap van der Wal

Amor Fati 10 years in Flanders “That is Latin. Then we know for sure that Prime Minister Bart De Wever likes it. Love for fate. Fate brought me to this beautiful country 10 years ago, where life is fantastic, but where things also go fantastically wrong so often. That too is fate and that too I embrace with pleasure.” Jan Jaap van der Wal is now 10 years “Fleming in training” and has become an indispensable part of Flemish theaters and television. The love is mutual and to celebrate that, Jan Jaap is bringing his biggest show to date in Flanders. “Because whether we go under due to a possible war, or a budget deficit, or we choke on a shrimp croquette at the seaside; go under we will, so let's do it with a big smile.” Jan Jaap van der Wal has been a comedian for almost thirty years and has made four full-length shows in Flanders since 2015, including the 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.
