Wim Helsen
A show with a message. And it goes like this:
Pain is your friend. Boredom is your friend. Discomfort is your friend. Wim Helsen is your friend. This is going to be hilarious!
Bye now!
What the press say about the show ‘Welkom Ongemak’
- NRC ★★★★★: “Wim Helsen pulls it off again. The Flemish cabaret performer once more proves himself an unsung Ti Ta Tovenaar, the man who stops time in the theatre without you even noticing. And takes you on a journey you never see coming.”
- NRC ★★★★★: “At the same time, Helsen remains a fascinating stage presence, watched open-mouthed as he generously and relentlessly showers the audience with his antics.”
- NRC ★★★★★: “To be the ultimate fool, and still move people: that is mastery.”
- De Volkskrant ★★★★: “Wim Helsen turns it into a beautiful, witty and sensitive theatrical monologue, drawing on his entire toolbox as a theatre-maker: his idiosyncratic humour and his remarkable facial expressions.”
