7.1Maassen won two of the biggest comedy contests in the Netherlands in 1990, the Groninger Studenten Cabaret Festival(GSCF), and Cameretten. The GSCF jury was not pleased with the quality of the contestants that year, and gave Maassen the first prize, remarking he was the best of the year, but still not very good. In the following years, however, Maassen fame grew steadily, especially amongst students. Maassens style was based on stand-up comedy: Alone on stage, telling jokes and stories to amuse the public, without any musical support (a thing common for most Dutch comedians up to that point). Since 2000, Maassens shows are shown on Dutch national television, making him more and more a household name.

0.0In September 2013, it was exactly 12½ years ago that Bas Hoeflaak and Peter van de Witte launched their first full-length theater show 'Teer' under the name Droog Brood. The very best from six theater programs will be collected and forged into a magnificent and classic theater evening. Includes intermission and show trap. It will be fun. For the gentlemen of Droog Brood – who have finally found a reason to perform precious scenes one more time (there is talk of itchy fingers) – but of course also for the audience, who will be presented with an evening of hilarious highlights and will be able to enjoy themselves immerse yourself in a warm atmosphere of sweet melancholy. In short: the ladyfingers have been bought, the Smurfs have been called and Soekeloekie has pulled his proverbial nose out of the grease to frequently put it around the corner.
