From a perfectionist toddler to a dog trainer with too little authority, from a teacher who herself longs for the validation of a glitter 3D sticker to a philosophising bouncer. She dissects our ridiculous expectations and the inevitable disappointments that follow.

You laugh yourself silly, but secretly you know it too: this is about me. About failed relationships, unsuccessful career moves and that uncomfortable feeling that everyone understands life better than you do. Take comfort – that is not the case.

GELUKKIG MAAR is an evening in which you may laugh from crying and cry from laughing. At someone else’s discomfort. Or secretly your own.
