COMEDY JAM IN THE GAM

The comedy line-up of de Gam is back! 1 evening, 4 comedians, countless laughing fits! This is the chance for an evening of solid laughter and having a nice drink. MC Jan Linssen takes us from highly promising comedy talent Kelia Kaniki Masengo, to the uniquely absurd Maarten D’Haene, to the wildly popular headliner Yannick Noben. Sit down and let your laugh muscles be surprised and pampered! YANNICK NOBEN Yannick Noben went at breakneck speed from the comedy revelation of recent years to a fixture in the Flemish comedy world. This juicy, imposing, and warm Limburger has grown into a national phenomenon. Year after year, he conquers not only the halls but also the hearts of his audience. The ex-professional soldier fillets the past year with sniper precision. Don't expect a polite review, but a barrage of sharp observations, wonderful jokes, and surprising insights. With witty analyses and a good dose of self-deprecation, Noben examines current events. He makes you look at the daily news differently: recognizable, sometimes confrontational, but above all irresistibly funny. MAARTEN D’HAENE Maarten D'Haene, winner of the Lunatic Comedy Award, combines absurd humor with an almost playful energy that splashes off the stage. His stories swing in all directions, but always land exactly where they need to land: on a punchline that makes the room explode. With his flawless timing, strong mimicry, and natural presence, he drags the audience into his unique way of thinking. KELIA KANIKI MASENGO Kelia Kaniki Masengo is a writer, presenter, and emerging comedian from Mechelen with an energetic and disarming style! In addition, she also writes stories for young children and hosts several podcasts. Charming and to be discovered! JAN LINSSEN Jan Linssen is the ideal son-in-law and warm host of this line-up! Starting from the cliché “Limburgers are slow”, Jan shows why that is not a weakness, but rather a strength: taking time, enjoying, observing, and persevering. Besides being a performer, Jan is also a renowned humor writer for popular radio and TV programs such as De Rechtvaardige Rechters, De Weekwatchers, Taboe, and Twee tot de Zesde Macht, and for years the head writer of Kamal Kharmachs year-end conferences. You might not know Jan himself yet, but you have undoubtedly already come across his jokes!
