Roel C. Verburg is a comedian in the body of a musician. Or a musician with a comic affliction — the audience can decide. With his unique mix of sharp jokes, absurdist observations, and irresistibly funny songs on the guitar, he has been touching and making a broad audience laugh for years. You know him from Radio Veronica, where he could be heard for years with Jeroen van Inkel, and from his appearances on television programs such as DWDD, Lubach, and Padoem Patsss. Online, his songs and sketches regularly go viral.
In Worst Songs from the Street, Roel serves up a delightful best-of: a selection of the funniest sketches and most beloved songs from his repertoire. Expect an evening full of humor, with musical nods to his heroes: Tom Waits, Jimi Hendrix, and Drs. P. For new audiences, this is the perfect introduction to the highlights from his five previous cabaret shows. For loyal fans, it is a festive rediscovery of his favorite scenes. In short: the best of Roel—and that says a lot.
