Erik Wegewijs

Erik Wegewijs takes you on a journey through the alphabet and along the major themes of the moment. From drama triangle to self-love, from stress to courage. Recognizable for young and old, but never without obligation. Erik wonders aloud how you, as a father, can raise your children in a future-proof way, why looking for direction seems so difficult and what it means to make your own choices in a time full of distractions. He exposes complex topics with his characteristic directness and dry humour, so that you walk out of the theatre with new insights and a good dose of motivation. A performance in which inspiration and laughter go hand in hand.

Biography
In 2022, Erik Wegewijs became nationally known for his role as the main instructor in the popular Videoland series Special Forces VIPs, now good for five seasons. The audience got to know him as someone who is strict and just, but also surprisingly empathetic. That combination struck a chord.

In addition to his TV work, Erik is a sought-after keynote speaker in business, with self-leadership, resilience and team dynamics as a common thread. He was featured in Life Trail and Dreamschool, programs in which he guided young people who were looking for direction.

In 2024, his first book ‘With Bare Hands’ was published, about his personal life and his years within the Special Forces. That same year, as co-founder, he founded the Switched On platform, aimed at personal development in turbulent times. Through collaborations with DPG Media (Breakthroughs) and DAY1 (Switched On the podcast), he digitally inspired tens of thousands of people to take control of their lives again. In 2027, Erik enters the theatre, for anyone who wants to experience him live.
