First aid is my passion and my life. One traffic light turns red, another turns green: there's always something to do in Almelo. One of Herman Finkers' most famous quotes.

He was probably best described in the Utrechts Nieuwsblad: 'master of the double punchline,' 'witty excess that does no harm,' 'sublime nonsense.' EHBO is my passion and my life is Herman Finkers' fourth program, recorded in the Leidse Schouwburg.
