Alex Ploeg

Cabaret

Comedian Alex Ploeg is back with a new show! In recent seasons he toured sold-out halls with his hilariously honest program 'Unplugged', which earned him a shower of stars and a nomination for the Poelifinario, the cabaret prize for the best performance of the year.

Now he has got a taste for it and is back with try-outs for his new show 'Nothing Personal'. Alex is done with that soft stuff. He no longer minces his words. Takes up space. Spares no one. But I would like to apologize in advance.

Razor-sharp jokes, personal stories and compelling guitar songs come at you at a rapid pace. Expect a hilarious evening with deep insights.
