Marcel van Roosmalen

In 'I Am Not Allowed to Complain', Marcel van Roosmalen seeks the answer to the question of how things in his life could have spiraled so massively out of control. And he ends up in Arnhem, a city where, according to him, you are already 2-0 down at birth, but where, to his regret, he grew into the "Arnhemmer of the Fatherland".

Outside the city limits, he causes a sensation with his razor-sharp phrasing and eagle eye for human imperfection, and is therefore hated and threatened. Within the city limits, he is adored. Yet moving back to Arnhem is not an option, because he knows for certain that it would only end in disappointment. What is left, then?

Nothing.

And he isn't allowed to complain either.

This evening balances between cabaret, column, and personal narrative. Expect a sharp, witty, and sometimes uncomfortable look at success, origins, and expectations. Unmistakably Marcel van Roosmalen: idiosyncratic, topical, and ruthlessly honest. About Marcel van Roosmalen
After thirty years on the sidelines, it was finally here – The Big Breakthrough. From cult journalist to Dutch celebrity in a flash. Suddenly, we were listening to groundbreaking podcasts, watching ratings hits, reading top-ten book chart hits, and attending sold-out theaters. All his dreams, wishes, and ambitions are now coming together. After charming bumbling in 'Dit Is Nederland', pancake successes with Gijs Groenteman, and packed venues from Wormer to Winschoten with Eva Hoeke, the moment has finally arrived. Marcel van Roosmalen. Finally on his own.
