Tickets (opens in a new window)Ronald Snijders' seventh theatre solo: absurd, verbal and dry cabaret about the humour he grew up with, built from casual one-liners, conversations that go off the rails and newly invented words. It premiered on 23 October 2026 at De Kleine Komedie in Amsterdam and tours Dutch theatres in the 2026-27 season.
Ronald Snijders made a show about the kind of humour he grew up with: absurd, verbal and dry, with an occasional slide towards silly. He builds it from casual one-liners, conversations that take a wrong turn and words he invented himself.
The show premiered on 23 October 2026 at De Kleine Komedie in Amsterdam and tours Dutch theatres in the 2026-27 season.

Scènes gave the show 4.5 stars and called Snijders a genre of his own: the jokes and finds keep stacking without the show ever sagging.

Theaterkrant found the show too long: the abundance of absurdism wears thin, though it would have come close to genius half an hour shorter.
