Welcome discomfort

Wim Helsen invites you for very pleasant discomfort  Pain is your friend. Boredom is your friend. Discomfort is your friend. Wim Helsen is your friend. And friends, we can never have enough of them.  Doesn't that sound wonderful? Then you are exactly at the right address.  With Welkom Ongemak , Helsen is back with a theater monologue that, as always, is more than it seems. Funny, yes certainly. But also moving, sharp, and unexpectedly deep. Humo described it as "vintage Helsen"; and that is exactly what it is: a man who for 25 years has been building laughter like no other until it ripples through the hall for minutes, and at the same time touches you in places where you didn't expect it.   Helsen is the ultimate jester who makes you laugh and think. About discomfort. About the urge to flap. About everything that hurts. And what perhaps has the most to tell us.  Not to be missed, this bite!   In Welkom Ongemak , comedian Wim Helsen masterfully weaves humor and sadness. - in NRC
