Xander has not been seen with a new comedy show for a few years, and that shows: there is a lot to catch up on. Between parenthood and an approaching fortieth birthday, he does what every man does at that turning point: look back wistfully, compare, and cling to his youth with slight panic. Back to the Beginning is an honest, nostalgic, and particularly recognizable comedy show, in which Xander goes back to the beginning without shame.
That our theater occupies a special place in that story is no coincidence. At the end of 2025, Xander played the try-out of his successful year-end conference Houdt het voor bekeken, even before he conquered the AFAS Dome and Lotto Arena’s.
The ticket sales went as whirlwind as his comedy then, and anyone who was there knows why.
