Comedian Steven is going to sell his party café Brabo’s in Boxtel again. It takes the Tilburg citizen more time than expected. “And if I have to choose between joking or a café, I choose joking. That’s in my blood.”
It was a childhood dream: having your own party café. In May 2022, Brunswijk opened its own Café Brabo’s, on the Boxtel market. But now it’s for sale. “Joking is in my blood. So if I have to choose, I will always go for the stage. I have always dreamed of a party café, but in practice it turned out differently than hoped.”
And that is a bitter pill for the Tilburg citizen. “Other people told me I should be proud, but it felt like failure. You can’t turn everything into gold.”
“At least I tried.”
At the opening of his party café, he thought a lot about his mother, who has now passed away. “She came to the Netherlands to make sure I have a good time. I wanted to prove myself to her. As long as she agrees, I thought.”
But secretly Brunswijk knows that his mother is proud of him. “Especially when a customer told me during carnival that I could be proud, it really dawned on me. At least I tried.”
The café will remain open until it is sold.
