Arjen Lubach

Inspired by a fan, TV satirist Arjen Lubach makes the move from the news desk to the stand-up stage to share his search for life’s secrets. Plus, music!

For their annual trip, Lena -originally from Sweden- invites her close group of friends to a Frisian island to celebrate the Swedish Midsummer Night tradition. For the first time Meike, an outsider is invited. As with all friendships, in this thirty-something group of friends some secrets are shared, and others remain untold.

Nearly a decade ago, Xander De Rycke took to the stage armed with nothing more than a dozen pages of jokes and a slideshow filled with screenshots. What began as a small internet show grew, thanks to a loyal fanbase, into a phenomenon that managed to fill nine Lotto Arenas. Today, the show is known as the most spectacular end-of-year comedy conference in Flanders. In 2025, that success reaches its peak in the country’s largest venue: the AFAS Dome in Antwerp. Not just the 2025 edition of ‘Houdt het voor bekeken’, but a true celebration of everything that has made ten years of #HHVB what it is. Expect a barrage of sharp jokes, affectionate nods to past shows, and of course contributions from both friends and “frenemies”.

In STRIJDER, his second solo performance, Arjen once again shares personal stories, funny anecdotes, and surprising music. With this, he offers a unique perspective on his own life, the country, and the times we live in. The performance was sold out to the last seat in the Netherlands and Belgium and received enthusiastic audiences and standing ovations everywhere.
