Done with Kamiel Spiessens and co: Chris Van den Durpel…

Firmin, Kamiel Spiessens, Sylvain Van Genechten, Jimmy B: all types of Chris Van den Durpel (61) that we will no longer see on TV. Van den Durpel is not going to make new sketches and programs with those characters, he says in the podcast ‘Akkerdjie’. “I have to enjoy it and that was gone”, it sounds.

In the 1990s, Chris Van den Durpel’s characters grew into cultural heritage on Flemish TV. We all know skits with Firmin the boxer, Kamiel Spiessens, Jimmy B, Sylvain Van Genechten, Snelle Eddy and so on. They came to life in the program, among other things Typical Chris.

But he won’t get back into the skin of those types again, Van den Durpel says in the podcast Akkerdjie. “I have to disappoint people who hope that I will make new sketch programs in the future,” says Van den Durpel. He has definitely put an end to it, it still sounds like it. “Making series is no longer a challenge for me. I really have to triggered become, and that is no longer the case. I’ve been doing it for 30 years now and thought it was time for something different.”
