"Wait, what?!"
- A Hilarious and Heartfelt Journey Through My Life -
Welcome to Wait, what?!, a cabaret-style show where weird, wild, and deeply personal stories come to life!
Over 39 years, I’ve gathered unforgettable moments—some ridiculous, some emotional, and plenty that’ll make you go, “Wait, what?!” This isn’t your typical polished performance. It’s raw, real, and full of laughter, life lessons, and a bit of musical theater magic.
What’s the vibe? I want to bring you joy, laughter, and a sprinkle of inspiration. My life has been full of achievements, but also plenty of mistakes and tough moments (yep, I’m only human!). This show is a celebration of all of it—because why not have fun with both the wins and the darkest moments?
People always told me I should write a book, but honestly? I think a cabaret is the perfect way to tell my story—because I absolutely love musical theater and storytelling!
What is it about?
It's a collection of stories that made me—and everyone around me—say, “Wait, what?!” from the ridiculous to the raw, from the hilarious to the heartwarming.
Here’s what you’ll find in "Wait, what?!":
-
Musical theater moments: If you love a good song, you’ll find something to enjoy.
-
Lots of laughs: Life can be hard, but it’s also so much better when we laugh about it.
-
Inspiration: If you need a reminder that we’re all just figuring it out, I’ve got you covered.
-
Parenting insights: Having lived in Japan, the Netherlands and the US, I’ve seen very different parenting styles, and I think they might surprise you!
-
Love stories: After hearing my experience, you might end up appreciating people around you just a little more.
-
Cultural insights: If you’re curious about life in Japan or Amsterdam, I’ll share some personal tidbits about both cultures that you might find surprising.
Ultimately, I want this show to be a space where you feel like you’re hanging out with a friend—laughing, thinking, and maybe even seeing things from a different perspective. I want you to leave feeling a little lighter and hopefully more connected.
Who is it for?
This show is for anyone who wants to:
Have fun and laugh!
Get a little inspiration and encouragement.
Connect with new perspectives on life.
Enjoy some fabulous musical theater numbers.
Learn more about Japanese and Dutch culture.
Or, hey, if you just have nothing else to do—this is the place to be!
And most of all, if you just want to support me as I share these wild and wonderful moments from my life—thank you!
I really hope "Wait, what?!" makes you smile, think, and maybe even feel a little more hopeful about your own journey. Life’s too short to take it all seriously, so let’s laugh at the weird stuff and embrace the wild ride together.

How It Works
There are six shows, and you can come to one, some, or all! Each one is a standalone chapter of my life. If you make it to all six, you'll have the full story. But if you just catch a few? No worries—you're still going to get all the juicy, “Wait, what?!” details you need to feel like you’ve been with me from the very beginning.
So, grab your favorite drink (maybe something stronger for this one?), sit back, and let’s dive into my wild, funny, and sometimes surprisingly deep journey together. Because trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
Lastly,
Get ready to say it with me…
"Wait, what?!"
