Five friends from 'Maaskantje' are getting fired because of the economic crisis. They decide that they won't pay for anything anymore.

Comedian Wim Helsen apologizes for the violence, religious extremism and lousy economy plaguing Europe, then offers a happy panacea for all of it.

Maassen won two of the biggest comedy contests in the Netherlands in 1990, the Groninger Studenten Cabaret Festival(GSCF), and Cameretten. The GSCF jury was not pleased with the quality of the contestants that year, and gave Maassen the first prize, remarking he was the best of the year, but still not very good. In the following years, however, Maassen fame grew steadily, especially amongst students. Maassens style was based on stand-up comedy: Alone on stage, telling jokes and stories to amuse the public, without any musical support (a thing common for most Dutch comedians up to that point).

The larger themes of life have slowly found their way into Goedemondt's small, safe world. He wasn't been waiting for that at all. How long can you deal maturely with, for example, parenthood, the future, and death as a forty-something? If it's up to Goedemondt: quite a while. He still doesn't stop his childish shouting and ranting, and he still taunts, rebukes, resists, stuns and ignores. Can he get by in society with that behavior? He's quite hard headed about that.

Theo Maassen is extraordiarily hard on Holland, but seems to see the fun of it. Met alle respect is his seventh solo programme. Just like in his other shows, Theo Massen combines his satirical view on our society with his daily life.
