Since 2006, the Brabant cabaret artist Guido Weijers has been asked by SBS6 to close the year with a New Year's Eve conference. The New Year's Eve conference 2009, recorded in the Chassé Theater in Breda, turned into a grand spectacle, in which Weijers alternated his stories with hip street dance acts and tough acrobatic stunts: flashy acts with roller skates, motorcycles, a trapeze and weightlifting
… with human bodies. Weijers participated in these acts as much as possible. His retrospective of high-profile people from 2009 was graced by images on large plasma screens. The SM-like beginning of the show and the 'angelic' ending is a nod to the EO: this broadcaster banned a project that Weijers & Arie Boomsma wanted to make about religion. He then seizes this opportunity to spout sensible ideas about believers. The comedian jokes about swine flu, Dirk Scheringa, Queen's Day & the Royal Family, Van Middelkoop & Uruzgan, Tiger Woods, Balkenende, the Toppers, Yolanthe, K3, celebrities in commercials and of course Michael Jackson. .
