brings

medley

There comes a new medley out of the stock of 200 years of classical clowns scenes. Never the same and always simply the best. Probably unnecessary and essential. Buster plays Buster, Joey plays Joey, Coco plays Coco, Stan Vreeken is Stan Vreeken and if you need Sugar there is Sugar. A compilation of the best jokes, scenes and pantomimes. With live music! And even some never before seen material!

5/6 December - Haarlem/Toneelschuur
17/18 December - Utrecht/Theater Kikker
12/13 February - Amsterdam/Frascati
15/16 February - Antwerpen/Monty

Eight opportunities for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don’t miss it, because we will miss you!

Interview with Buster, Joey and Coco

by Erik Bindervoet

So, anyway. The day started slowly, tentatively, hesitatingly, as did the conversation, as did this sentence, like some forgotten, distant fight song from the Caribbean where hurricane Irma was raging at the time. The first to arrive in their favorite haunt for interviews, the shimmering lounge of the Schiller Hotel at the Amsterdam Rembrandtplein, was Joey. I catch him assiduously reading some pages of script for the new show. – I have to make a selection out of it, he says. Because my friends are too lazy to do that. Or too dumb. I might just as well go it alone. Joey goes solo!
