Wieke has been teaching for years at the Christian Lyceum in Zeist when she decided to take a cabaret course. Even though she had stage fright for a long time. “I had singing lessons as a child and I really enjoyed that. But when I had to perform, I was so nervous. I was even so nervous that the singing teacher said, you don’t have to participate. She said that once, but then she said, that doesn’t help, you have to. I literally stood there with shaking knees and covered in red spots. And that didn’t get any better. But better a life with red spots than sitting around waiting to die. “
