Ugly redhead! - Roel Steeno

Roel Steeno has been warming up halls and TV studios for others for years. Outside the spotlights, he has his hobbies like everyone else. Reading Google reviews, for example. During corona, he briefly considers a career as a gravedigger and even ventures into poetry. And he has a special talent: seeing beauty where others see mostly ugliness. Like in his yellow Fiat Multipla. He also knows better than anyone how it feels to be at the bottom of the ladder, to be the target of mockery, the whipping boy, the laughingstock. It starts at school: “Ugly ginger!!!”. He does his first year of secondary school three times, loses Humo’s Comedy Cup five times, and has to lose out to an 18-year-old in De Slimste Mens. From that perspective, he tells his story. About failing, persevering… and the big question: is he actually really ginger? As a warm-up act, Roel Steeno has been bringing the studios of De Ideale Wereld, Vrede op Aarde, and De Slimste Mens ter Wereld to temperature for more than ten years before the first joke even falls. In addition, he plays in TV series like Flikken, Witse, and Vermist - usually in the role of ‘the bad guy’ - and builds a career as a stand-up comedian. The general public really gets to know him when he participates in De Slimste Mens ter Wereld in 2025. What starts as an inside joke – the warm-up act who suddenly becomes a candidate himself - only ends in the final. Today he brings all that experience together in his theater show. Timing, improvisation, and a flawless feeling for the audience guarantee a successful evening. Because whether he is warming up a hall or standing in the spotlights himself, one thing is certain: if Roel Steeno is there, it is never long before the first laugh.
