“Gebaseerd op waargebeurde feiten”
Andy Peelman shot to fame almost overnight with his portrayal of Inspector Koen Baetens in *De Buurtpolitie*. Since then, he has become one of VTM’s most beloved – and reviled – on-screen personalities. He has appeared as a detective on *The Masked Singer*, presented *Lego Masters*, and, alongside Dina Tersago, fact-checks all manner of prejudices and urban legends in Ze Zeggen Dat.
It might surprise you, but Andy had a life even before he became famous. Andy was – and still is – a down-to-earth lad who takes life with a pinch of salt and embraces every opportunity that comes his way.
In this autobiographical show – just like *De Buurtpolitie*, ‘based on true stories’ – Andy guides the audience, with great panache and a love of storytelling, through the toughest blows and the most hilarious scenes of his life. From his birth – Andy literally fell headfirst and still has a scar to prove it – to his marriage proposal, which went pear-shaped on three separate occasions.
In the spirit of the best tall tales and pub storytellers, some anecdotes may seem so implausible that they feel like scripted reality. Yet it all really happened. And if you don’t believe that, Andy will certainly convince you otherwise.
