RIP Bert “De Zwarte Komedie” Verhoye (1945 – 2019)
Bert Verhoye was a Belgian satirist, Belgium’s one-man Charlie Hebdo.
He was known to the extreme left for ridiculing extreme right ‘heroes’ such as Cyriel Verschaeve and Karel Dillen.
After almost 40 years of left wing mayors in Antwerp, right wing mayor Bart De Wever came to power and Verhoye’s theater De Zwarte Komedie lost its funding.
Verhoye has no successor.
