Ach, er komen geen kindjes van - Chris Verlaan

Cabaret

Comedian Chris Verlaan won the hearts of many with his programs Man in de Maak and De Kringloper. With his unique, autistic view on life and his witty humor, he takes the audience into his world. His stories are recognizable, surprising and offer a refreshing view on daily reality. In his own dry, cynical style, Chris presents a program full of anecdotes that only he can deliver.

When something goes wrong in Chris's life, he always thinks of his mother's statement: “Oh well, there will be no children.”He struggles happily through his uncertain, single existence, but would actually like to pass on something of himself to the next generation. Quite difficult, when even looking at a woman is a challenge.

Loneliness carries no warning sign. For Chris, that loneliness is not a big drama, but a loyal co-driver in his head. She fuels his fantasies, fears and desire for connection. As the world rushes past him, he wonders: when do you really belong? And what if no one sees how hard you actually try?

With a lot of discomfort and some self-mockery, Chris shares the life lessons he has learned with his audience for now. Will he succeed in contributing to society in his unique way?

"Chris Verlaan has a special voice in the cabaret landscape." (Theatrekrant)
“The end of his cleverly constructed performance is a moving uppercut and a wake-up call in one.”
