    Thanks. I usually type the balloons into Google translate and get a sensible chuckle out of it, or sometimes I guess the joke only works in its original language. If I see one of those I’ll ask you!

    I thought he was Dutch btw, I remember he posted something about being in Amsterdam doing a show and I assumed he spoke Dutch

      He’s Belgian, born in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, Flanders. We speak a couple of regional dialects collected under the name Flemish. It’s basically Dutch with a twist.

      Lots of comedians in Flanders also do shows in the Netherlands and the other way around. Not that many Dutch speaking people in the world, so might as well try and reach all of them I guess.
