This artist's comedy routines are frequently asked for corporate events, variety programs, modern and classic circuses, festivals,... He will animate the event with a hanger, a glove, a barrel or a rope …. The audience is always happy to see him enter the stage again and again. … He adapts his acts to his public, young or old. Laughter is always central.

He is a comic fool who hangs his show on a slack rope and entraps his audience with spell binding contortionist routines. A gentle, crazed character, his show is a unique event that stirs the audience with its clowning antics, and technical feats of brilliance.
Originally from Belgium, he studied mime-movement theater at Lecoq in Paris and has performed his award-winning act in Europe, Canada, U.S.A., Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, China and Japan making people laugh in eight different languages.

He has worked on stage in theater and circus, on open air festivals, at corporate and private events and made various television appearances. An original and very entertaining one-man act suitable for all ages.
