Always on is a recognizable performance about wanting to live life to the fullest, 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 in search of 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 could be seen, like Jade Mintjes, as one of the 8 promises in Voor De Leeuwen op één, 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.
