It happened to Maarten often. When he stood on the set of a commercial dressed in an apple suit. When he cooked real Dutch food for his Belgian in-laws at their request, as proof that the Dutch do have taste. When his girlfriend walked into the room with a positive pregnancy test. It is just a small selection of the many awkward moments that this performance is rich in. Yet Maarten often thought later: luckily I said yes. Because how colorless would his life have been if he had always said no? Let yourself be taken along in his surprising and colorful stories in this performance. His performances are fresh and cordial with a sting. A born storyteller who grabs the audience with his pieces that are downright hilarious in their absurdity. All the ingredients for an evening full of laughter, recognition, and fun.
