LIVE; THEATERSEIZOEN '82/'84: 'Urbanus Live' werd in opdracht van Urbanus Nederland opgenomen tijdens twee uitverkochte voorstellingen in de Agnietenhof van Tiel op 4 en 5 februari 1983. Deze opnamen werden samengevat voor televisie en uitgezonden door de Vara in 1983 en in 1984. Dit is de volledige, ongeknipte versie van deze twee succesvolle uitzendingen via Vara en tevens een aardige weergave van het theaterseizoen 1982-1983 in Nederland en 1983-1984 in België. IN 'T ECHT: Deze theatershow van Urbanus was een ware triomf in de Belgische- en Nederlandse theaters, waarbij records sneuvelden wat bezoekersaantallen betreft. In Nederland werden ruim 200 voorstellingen gegeven, waarvan drie shows in Carré in Amsterdam. Geen enkele buitenlandse artiest deed hem dit na. In Vlaanderen was het niet anders. In alle grote theaters vonden meer dan twee voorstellingen plaats en Antwerpen leverde een record op van meer dan 15.000 bezoekers.
The bigger the audiences for Dutch comedian Micha Wertheim’s shows became, the less he had to do to make them laugh. In one early show, he suggested that the audience would be better off without him. So in 2016, he acted upon this suggestion with an experiment that made theater history: he wasn't physically present onstage but somewhere else. The audience wasn't aware of this in advance, though they did get a hint in the form of a pre-recorded "live" radio interview from a remote studio. "I see my audience as my children," Wertheim says in this interview. "You have to educate them, and that’s what I’ve been doing for the past 15 years. At first you have to constantly be there watching them, but there comes a time when you have to trust them to get on with it without you." With some help from a robot, a printer, a stereo and a set of headphones, the members of his audience were able to make their own performance.

In dit tweede solo-programma komt hij nóg harder, nóg scherper en nóg pikanter uit de hoek. Gevoelige toeschouwers weze bij deze gewaarschuwd: geen huisje - heilig of niet -blijft overeind, geen thema onbenut. "Morimos Solamente" bevat geen theatrale structuur (heeft dat ook niet nodig), maar kan je best omschrijven als anderhalf uur fantastisch verbaal geweld. "The World According To Alex Agnew" dus…
