Philippe Geubels usually manages a program himself, but on Thursday the comedian was allowed to take a seat at James Cooke to watch a musical about his own life. There was of course a lot of laughter, but Philippe could not hold back the tears when he received a message from his friend Tine. “You have been very important to me,” it sounds in the video she made for him. “Thank you for being my buddy.”

Before Philippe became a professional joker, he worked in the Colruyt, but it was already itching to be on stage. James found footage of his first try-out in which Philippe draws inspiration from his workplace.
Philippe has been together with his wife Leen for more than 20 years. The two have known each other since high school, but there was absolutely no love at first sight.
