Overview
Maassen 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.

Roué Verveer: Voorwaardelijk Vrij(nl)
2008-01-15
Het gaat goed met Roué Verveer. De Volkskrant vindt hem "verfrissend geëngageerd" en het NRC Handelsblad roemt zijn fantasie: "Hij vuurt grappen ogenschijnlijk uit de losse pols af, alsof hij ze ter plekke verzint." Geen wonder, want Roué maakt al jaren furore bij de Comedytrain met zijn mooie verhalen en scherpe improvisaties en in zijn theatershows buldert de gulle lach door de zaal. Maar als het goed met je gaat, neemt de angst om het weer kwijt te raken toe. En dat is precies het verhaal achter 'Voorwaardelijk Vrij'. Verveer prikkelt, stemt tot nadenken, en doet dat met heel veel humor. Voorwaardelijk Vrij is opgenomen in De Meervaart in Amsterdam.

The Dachshund(de)
2025-06-26
They’re small, clever, and incredibly strong-willed: dachshunds. Their soulful gaze wins hearts and fuels their lasting popularity. Once royal hunting dogs, they now take on unusual jobs—like Strolchi, a miniature dachshund who sniffs out woodworm in historic buildings. The bond between humans and dachshunds goes back to Celtic times. Archaeologists have even found joint burials of people and dachshund-like dogs. Versatile and charming, they thrive as city pets, hunting companions, and even racers—like those at the annual Wiener Race in Kirchheimbolanden. Beloved far beyond Germany, dachshunds have fans in France too, with events like Paris’s “Sausage Walk.”
