Roel Steeno with: Ugly redhead! (try-out) As long as I still have hair, at least

Roel Steeno has been warming up halls and TV studios for others for years, but outside the spotlights, Roel, like everyone else, has his hobbies. Reading Google reviews, for example. During Covid, he briefly considered a career as a gravedigger and even ventured into poetry. And he has a special talent: seeing beauty where others mainly see ugliness. Like in his yellow Fiat Multipla. Roel also knows what it feels like to be at the bottom of the ladder, to be the target of mockery, the laughingstock, the butt of the joke. It already started at school: "Ugly ginger!!!" He did his first year of high school three times, lost Humo's Comedy Cup five times, and had 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? about Roel Roel Steeno is an actor, comedian, and audience warmer. For more than ten years, he has been heating up the studios of De Ideale Wereld, Vrede op Aarde, and De Slimste Mens ter Wereld even before the first joke falls. Earlier, Roel toured Europe as a street actor. He played in TV series such as Flikken, Witse, and Vermist, mostly in the role of 'the bad guy'. In addition, he built a career as a stand-up comedian. The general public truly got to know him when he participated in De Slimste Mens ter Wereld in 2025. What started as an inside joke — the audience warmer suddenly becoming a candidate himself — only ended in the final. “Roel Steeno has been the flesh-and-blood boiler of De Slimste Mens ter Wereld for 13 years” – HUMO
