Bart De Pauw

Following the success of The Hour of the Elephant, Bart De Pauw returns to the stage in autumn 2026 with a brand-new theatre show: DE STOUTE BART DE PAUW SHOW.Although Bart can now only be seen in theatres and no longer on television, this new production brings the world of TV surprisingly close to the audience. Drawing inspiration from familiar situations, sharp observations and absurd ideas, he creates a series of brand-new television formats live on stage and immediately puts them to the test with his audience.The result is a collection of hilarious sketches and videos: what if there were a Woke Police Force? What would The Real Housewives of Wachtebeke look like? And what if the famous Man van Melle ended up on Temptation Island?With this show, Bart brings the trademark humour that made him a household name on television exclusively to the theatre stage.“It means a lot to me that people enjoyed last year’s show so much and are now coming back for more. The positive press reviews were encouraging, but it’s especially the enthusiastic reactions from audience members after the performances that give me a huge boost and inspire me to make this year’s show another unforgettable experience.” — Bart De Pauw
