Inspired by a fan, TV satirist Arjen Lubach makes the move from the news desk to the stand-up stage to share his search for life’s secrets. Plus, music!

Registration of the first theatre program by the Dutch comedian Merijn Scholten.

After a successful career of forty years, Dutch comedian Youp van 't Hek will say goodbye to the theater in 2024. This documentary gives a unique look behind the scenes of his last weeks as a comedian and an image of the person behind the jokes. An intimate portrait of a man who has made his audience laugh for decades, but also makes them think.

Experience Zara Larsson's majestical, sold-out performance at AFAS Live in Amsterdam - available from 3 April in cinematic quality. Electropop queen Zara Larsson performs songs from her fourth studio album 'Venus', alongside fan-favourites 'Lush Life', 'I Would Like', 'Never Forget You' and 'Symphony', on her first European tour since 2019. Captured on 26 February 2024 at AFAS Live, the show features luscious pastel and magenta stage lighting, ethereal orbital-like visuals, a powerful female collective of musicians and dancers, plus all the frills and sparkle. Shooting to multi-platinum stardom over the past decade, Zara continues her reign of 'mothering' - sorry - owning the stage as if it were her last concert, radiating confidence, charm, and (unsurprisingly) some pretty killer dance moves in front of thousands of fans.

In his ninth and last comedy show the Dutch comedian Kees Torn tells about his passion for science and on what he wants to do after his last tour.

In STRIJDER, his second solo performance, Arjen once again shares personal stories, funny anecdotes, and surprising music. With this, he offers a unique perspective on his own life, the country, and the times we live in. The performance was sold out to the last seat in the Netherlands and Belgium and received enthusiastic audiences and standing ovations everywhere.
