Comedian Wim Helsen apologizes for the violence, religious extremism and lousy economy plaguing Europe, then offers a happy panacea for all of it.
"Huh...? 2013? And you're still here? Damn! And above all: what now?" All of humanity was looking forward to the Great End. For centuries, we consciously pursued an economic and ecological policy of "everything must go." So that everything would be celebrated, used up, and spent by 2012. Together, we counted down to the Apocalypse. 3... 2... 1... ! And then nothing happened. We have been historically deceived! Duped by clever "marketing mayas." Raw materials, oil, credit, original ideas for TV programs: it's all exhausted! Here we are now with a global hangover and a gigantic clean-up. What now?
Second solo show by the Dutch comedian Hans Sibbel.
Registration of the third solo show by the Dutch comedian Hans Sibbel.
Much suggests that democracy has had its day and that the power of the Dutch parliament is virtually nil. So the parties flee into the sham world of party leader elections and mega coalitions. The media, as always, run like dogs after every discarded stick. Beyond idealism, beyond populism, beyond realism, we will choose and vote on September 12, 2012. For what and for whom?
Freek de Jonge: De Stemming 5
Theo Maassen is extraordiarily hard on Holland, but seems to see the fun of it. Met alle respect is his seventh solo programme. Just like in his other shows, Theo Massen combines his satirical view on our society with his daily life.
Javier Guzman: Lief & Laf
Acda & de Munnik: Ren Lenny Ren
Patrick Laureij gets vulnerable for his second comedy show, talking openly about his depression in a personal yet funny way.
We like to convince ourselves of things. Trivialities that bring some order to the chaos of our thoughts, things that make life a little more exciting. But what if these thoughts turn against us? What if we convince ourselves of things that aren't necessary? What if we become paranoid about that one unanswered text message, uncertain about the future of our clothing, and afraid that our hero status is unsustainable? It is these illusions that comedian Thomas Smith wants to expose and puncture. And he is looking for a useful answer to the question of life: what to do when you receive good news while you have a headache?
Thomas Smith: Will set you free

Leon tries to make the world a better place for his children.
Roué Verveer: FF wat anders
In his special 'V', Weijers jokes about power, relationships, religion, travel and happiness at a breakneck pace. The comedian asks his audience which five people they would invite for an ultimate dinner. Fast, sharp and honest. The mirror he holds up has never been so painfully funny.
Because Urbanus does all kinds of pranks, he has to go to an improvement institution. There, Dr. Schrikmerg uses him as a guinea pig for his new invention: he makes a sort of robot from Urbanus.
