Gover Meit wants to be more than just Stefano Keizers. The comedian will therefore soon drop his alter ego. “I don’t know if I will ever get rid of the stigma of Stefano Keizers, but I want to kick my ass as an artist and try something different,” he said in the NPO 1 talk show Op1.
“I feel that I am gradually changing into a cabaret artist who makes a different performance every two years and ends up in a kind of straitjacket,” Meit explained. According to him, Gover is no different from Stefano. “Stefano Keizers has only been a stage name, but one that has become more than I thought.”
As Keizers, Meit has reached his ‘business ceiling’, he continued. Because he is so experimental, he does not draw full houses. That’s why he wants to look for other things. “I want to make a lot more and lend myself a lot more as myself. There is a stigma attached to the name Stefano Keizers that I am a funny man and that I am always looking for a joke. I actually also want to highlight the serious side of life. I also want to act and certainly want to make many more concepts, also in the theater, but not as a one-man show.”
Meit disrupted the broadcast somewhat by standing during a large part of the interview, much to the visible dismay of presenter Carrie ten Napel. The comedian did that because, in his own words, he always ‘has an urge to look for originality’. ,,But that always wrings”, he referred to Ten Napel’s reaction. “I’m the only one who gives everything to try to find something that’s original and hasn’t been done yet, and try to break a little bit from the grind.”
