Xander De Rycke, still Belgium's youngest professional comedian and yet already a veteran, presents his greatest hits in 'Ten years on the road, two hours of fun'. Xander De Rycke is the court jester of a generation. His trilogy has come to an end, and the time is ripe to look back on 'Uw Zoete 666' (Your Sweet 666), 'Mijn Zwarte Parade' (My Black Parade), and 'Zijn Derde Show' (His Third Show). This 'best of' performance is a two-hour cocktail of his best jokes and even a few fun new ones!
