In the show, Jochem talks about his love for nature. Jochem: 'If you're going to talk about something four hundred times, you have to choose something you really want to talk about. Jokes are fun, but I want to talk about things that interest me. My three big hobbies are fishing, theater, and birds. The book De Gorgels is also about nature. I've already incorporated my passion for biology into it, and now I want to show that on stage as well.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Myjer is massive in the Netherlands—this show represents a pivot from broad comedy to deeply personal, almost TED-talk-with-jokes territory that Dutch audiences embraced.
The title 'Adem In, Adem Uit' (Breathe In, Breathe Out) references both meditation and actual bird respiration—Myjer literally built his entire framework around avian biology.
