Freek de Jonge has his performances of his show The Oblivion postponed. The 79-year-old comedian confirmed this to this site on Friday after ticket sales for the performance were taken offline. The reason for the suspension is the promotion of a book he is working on. “I will soon be 80. We must also conform to our age.”
De Jonge would start his show this fall The Oblivion, on the occasion of his eightieth birthday, will be in theaters. But because he is working on the book The Zeeland Years, a third part in a series of autobiographical novels, it all became just a bit too much for him, he explains to this site. “I will be going into the merry-go-round of promotion from June 20. I don’t want to be stressed about that.”
The comedian, who provided the musical accompaniment to his wife Hella’s exhibition on Sunday, April 21, also states that his age also plays a role in the choice to postpone the performances. “Hella turned 75 on Sunday. And I’ll be 80 in August. We also have to conform to our age.”
However, people who wanted to buy tickets for the show don’t have to worry. “There will simply be new data,” De Jonge promises.
De Jonge made his last big show in early 2022, The Wrote. He has also hosted six election shows since 2003. The documentary is on Friday evening, May 3 The Atelier – portrait of Hella can be seen on NPO2 Extra at 8:30 PM. In it, De Jonge recorded his wife’s working method.
