After the extensive celebration of 20 years of The Artists Formerly Known as Lama’s, it’s time to look ahead! In 2025, Ruben Nicolai, Jeroen van Koningsbrugge, Tijl Beckand, Ruben van der Meer, and Patrick Lodiers will return to MECC Maastricht.

‘TAFKAL: Stapelgek, op elkaar!’
‘An evening of unlimited enjoyment’ (Ruben Nicolai), ‘grand performances with an unpredictable nature’ (Patrick Lodiers), ‘I’ll be there too!’ (Jeroen van Koningsbrugge), ‘call me back later for a quote, I’m in an illegal Chinese gambling den and my battery is almost de…’ (Ruben van der Meer) and ‘I haven’t called anyone yet, what are the dates again?’ (Tijl Beckand).

A new era demands a new approach, so there will be new game formats. But what remains is the collective roasting of all minorities and majorities, cutting-edge yet topical jokes, and of course, the classic routines will not be missing. The show ‘Stapelgek, op elkaar!’ is an event, a transcendent total experience in which the art of improvisation will be performed at the highest level. The five men will shine, score, and surpass themselves. ‘And it could always be the last time again’ (company doctor Dr. L van Dinteren).
