20 August 2008 : First (of 8) comedy workshop(s with Alex Agnew, Nigel Williams, Han Coucke & Thomas Smith)
20 September 2008 : First time on stage as a stand-up comedian.
Currently : entertaining you on stages across Flanders and The Netherlands
Influences
My first encounter with stand-up comedy during my teens: Denis Leary ranting & raving during the MTV commercial breaks and Eddy Murphy wearing a tight leather outfit on stage.
During my tweens I followed the Dutch scene with Raoul Heertje, Jörgen Raymann,...
And ofcourse I will be forever grateful to Alex Agnew, Nigel Williams, Han Coucke and Thomas Smith who kicked my ass in the comedy direction during the ’Get up, stand up!’-workshops I did with them.
