In a time where there are fences around everything, and we are denied the instinct of self‐preservation, it is difficult to find a place free from rules and restrictions, but not yet impossible. Surf movies come and go, a million waves in exotic locations and surfers flown in for three‐day shoots on perfect swells, but the spirit of adventure never dies. What began as a three‐month trip to a collection of surf breaks off the beaten track turned into a two‐year odyssey of exploration, injury, companionship and 4,000km of two‐wheeled, single‐finned escape from the real‐world burdens of modern life. Harrison Roach and Zye Norris pack their bags, a diverse quiver of boards, two bikes and a 50‐dollar tent into a 1970s Land Rover and embark on an epic quest from the southern reaches of Bali, through the Indonesian archipelago to Northern Sumatra’s isolated Lagundri Bay.

In zijn hilarische voorstelling "Wortels" neemt Klaas van der Eerden het publiek mee naar zijn roots. Opgegroeid in de jaren zeventig in een boerengehuchtje boven Amsterdam in een hippiegezin; laat het maar aan Klaas over om daar met zijn grappige verhalen, typetjes en improvisaties compleet op los te gaan. "Wortels zit boordevol originele vondsten met een hoge grapdichtheid" schreef het AD dan ook. En De Volkskrant had genoten van de "smakelijke verhalen" en noemde Wortel "een vermakelijk en zinnig programma". En dan hebben we het nog niet eens gehad over de zeer komische, muzikale hoogstandjes waarmee Klaas zijn publiek steeds weer verbaast. Conclusie: een energieke volbloed entertainer die zich iedere avond voor de volle 100% geeft en daarmee iedere zaal uit z'n dak laat gaan!

Het gaat goed met Roué Verveer. De Volkskrant vindt hem "verfrissend geëngageerd" en het NRC Handelsblad roemt zijn fantasie: "Hij vuurt grappen ogenschijnlijk uit de losse pols af, alsof hij ze ter plekke verzint." Geen wonder, want Roué maakt al jaren furore bij de Comedytrain met zijn mooie verhalen en scherpe improvisaties en in zijn theatershows buldert de gulle lach door de zaal. Maar als het goed met je gaat, neemt de angst om het weer kwijt te raken toe. En dat is precies het verhaal achter 'Voorwaardelijk Vrij'. Verveer prikkelt, stemt tot nadenken, en doet dat met heel veel humor. Voorwaardelijk Vrij is opgenomen in De Meervaart in Amsterdam.

Recorded in an abandoned factory in the Grünerløkka suburb of Oslo, Norway, this performance is as spontaneous and unhinged as anything Stanhope has ever done. Originally a sewing machine factory converted to a German WWII bunker, the setting for Oslo is anything but conventional. Whereas most comedy specials are filmed on an elaborate stage, Stanhope and Nikon Norway filled a dilapidated industrial space with lights and folding chairs, ultimately allowing the material be the focus of this release.
