In his new cabaret show Pieter Verelst gives an honest insight into what is really going on in that absurd head of his. ‘ALWAYS ON’ is a recognizable performance about wanting to live, wanting to experience everything, being much for others, but just a little too little for yourself. How do I become normal? Do I really want to be normal? And what's wrong with a little chaos and a unique view of the world?
Join us as we search for Pieter's ‘off switch’ in his feral, witty jungle, his brain!
About Pieter
Cabaret artist, comedian, actor, you can't put one label on Pieter Verelst. He studied and took his first comedy steps in the Netherlands. In 2014 he debuted with his comedy show ‘Mijn Broer en Ik’ and immediately won the Groninger Student Cabaret Festival. Two years later, he also won Cameretten. This opened the big gate to Flanders and he was featured, like Jade Mintjes, as one of the 8 promises in ‘Voor De Leeuwen’ on one, vrt.
With his second comedy show ‘Amai’ and his next, ‘Ten Aarzel,’ he put himself on the map as a comedian for good. He received rave reviews and is considered one of the most exciting comedians of his generation.
