With much discomfort and the necessary self-mockery, Chris shares his life lessons
Whenever something goes wrong in his life, Chris always thinks of his mother's saying, "Ah, there'll be no babies." Despite this being his life wisdom, Chris secretly has other plans.
Chris Verlaan captured the hearts of many with his dry, cynical style and programmes Man in the Making and De Kringloper. With his unique, autistic outlook on life and witty humour, he takes you into his world. His stories are recognisable, surprising and offer a refreshing take on everyday reality. For instance, Chris happily struggles through an uncertain, single existence, but secretly he would like to pass on something of himself to the next generation. Pretty tough, when even looking at a woman's face is already a challenge.
A loyal side driver
Loneliness carries no warning sign. For Chris, that loneliness is no great tragedy, but a faithful co-driver in his head. It fuels his fantasies, his fears and his longing for connection. As the world races past him, he wonders: when do you really belong? And what if no one sees how hard you are actually trying? With much discomfort and the necessary self-mockery, Chris shares the life lessons he has learned himself for now with his audience. Will Chris manage to contribute to society in his unique way?
