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.

Rodney Rude - Live(en)
1984-01-01
In the early 1980s Rodney Rude was hired by his friend Barry Wain to set up the first stand-up comedy venue in Sydney, The Margaret Lane Comedy Store. With Rodney Rude as the driving force, the comedy scene became huge and Rodney was as busy as a five peckered spider. This was the heyday of pub comedy and this video of the 'Rodney Rude Live, I Hate That' album, is a glimpse into this very funny period. This first Rodney Rude album epitomised his early comedy store period and along with his television appearances made Rodney Rude, with his catchphrase 'You Know What I Hate', a household name. The most frequently asked question over the years by Rude fans has been when will the 'Rodney Rude, I Hate That' video be available on DVD? The answer is: NOW
