Jeroen Leenders is al jarenlang The Wild Man of Comedy: deze Belgische comedian zoekt elke keer de grenzen op tussen comedy, filosofie en pure anarchie. De Jeroen Leenders Experience is de beste manier om zijn genialiteit te ervaren. In tegenstelling tot de meeste van zijn collega’s werkt Jeroen in dit format niet met afgewerkte grappen die duizenden keren zijn getest: nee, hier presenteert deze geweldenaar alleen ideeën waarvan hij zelf denkt dat deze grappig zouden kunnen zijn (of worden). Neem zeker ook jouw eigen meningen mee. Jeroen zal ze verdedigen als waren het de zijnen. Een volstrekt onvoorspelbare en retespannende show dus, met geweldige grappen over pijnlijke onderwerpen van een van de beste comedians ooit.
