Xander De Rycke has had enough. Comedian Xander De Rycke has a new project. The creator of the popular podcast "Mosselen om half twee" (Mussels at half past one) is releasing a special about his secret love: the Flemish media landscape. Over the past year, De Rycke has watched just about every Flemish film and TV program.

Ten years, three theater shows, and a best-of show later. A decade has flown by, and his thirtieth birthday is slowly creeping closer. But has Xander De Rycke learned anything over the past few years? Has he actually grown up, or does he just think he has? Flanders' best observational comedian is back and ready for the next step. With a head full of twists and turns, a bunch of colorful references, and an eye on the future, Xander De Rycke is back with "Quarter-Life Crisis." A show with relatable moments about life. Or at least a quarter of it.
Since 2016, Xander De Rycke has been touring annually with 'Houdt het voor bekeken' (#HHVB), a comedy special about the past year in television and film in Flanders. Previous editions of HHVB focused on the future of Flemish media. Where are we headed? How far ahead are we compared to the rest, and where do we stand head and shoulders above the rest? HHVB 2018·2019 takes a different direction. Increasingly, film and television are treating us to that 'remember when?' feeling. Franchises are being rebooted, old celebrities are being brought back, and we also have to keep an eye on VTM's 30th anniversary. Was everything better in the past? Is there still room for originality? Or do Flemish people prefer to be wrapped in a blanket of nostalgia? We will discover this together and, above all, have a lot of fun in the fourth season of 'Xander De Rycke houdt het voor bekeken' (Xander De Rycke calls it quits)..
