Hans Klok is absolutely not waiting for the pity of EenVandaag star Lammert de Bruin. The suggestion that he performs in front of half-empty halls night after night is nonsense, says the illusionist.
EenVandaag-face Lammert de Bruin was recently in the audience of Hans Klok’s variety show. Afterwards, he posted a twitter message in which he expressed his condolences to the illusionist and all his employees. “That half-empty tent… I just can’t believe it. He performs with all the top artists and the tent was HALF LEG?!”
Hans responds
Hans thinks this is all greatly exaggerated. It was really a fluke that Lammert was sitting in a half-empty room, the illusionist responds in the research magazine. party† “The conscious twitter message from the presenter went on one Sunday evening in Soest. That same afternoon, the tent was still packed during the afternoon performance.”
Lammert has blown it all up a lot, Hans thinks. “Sunday night is just a tough night because few people feel like going out that night. Most have to go back to work the next day or are tired at the end of the weekend. In addition, the tickets are on the expensive side.”
Precious production
Can’t the price go down a bit? “I can also imagine that this is not for everyone. If you cut them in half, you might have a full tent, but on the other hand it’s a huge show with people from Italy, Ukraine, Colombia: the whole world is in it. They all have to be paid for, it is an expensive production.”
He continues: “In short, it comes down to the fact that we did indeed play for half a room that Sunday evening and that may well happen. Fortunately, we don’t have any problems at other times.”
‘We’re extending!’
Hans will play in the circus tent until the end of August. “We will build it first in Amsterdam, then Rotterdam and The Hague.”
He concludes: “We expect very different visitor numbers there than in Soest! Moreover, I have some nice news: we are going to extend the tour. You don’t do that when things go wrong, do you!”
