6.8Theo Maassen is back. In all its anger, indignation, amazement about so much stupidity and lack of empathy in society, and advocates understanding and reconciliation.
0.0Registration of the fourth solo program by the Dutch comedian Hans Sibbel, in which the comedian takes a look at the evolution.

6.3Back in 2003, Alex Agnew was the first Belgian to win the prestigious 'Leids Cabaret Festival' in The Netherlands. He was the winner in both categories: Jury and public. Alex is a mixture of an English father, Belgian mother, an overdoses (action) movies, superheroes, comic books and a lot of music. No quiet, sophisticated humour, but proud to be loud! Rock'n'Roll comedy!
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.
7.5Mind you is the fourth theater of the Dutch comedian Hans Teeuwen. He performed the show in 2001. The last show was filmed in 2002 and aired on television, the same year that the show on CD and DVD published. It's Teeuwen's most famous and most frequently quoted show. He takes everything on the heel, including racism, blacks, world religions, AIDS patients, women, Jostiband and the Queen of the Netherlands.
4.2In his eighth show the Dutch comedian Hans Sibbel aka Lebbis looks for the interest that people have in their clarity and truth, and then kicks dents in it. Show recorded in the open air in the summer of 2013.
0.0Registration of the theater show 'I Amhali' by Najib Amhali. Najib itself is central to this spectacular show full of music. He knows better than anyone that happiness is in the small things. He is happily married and just the father of a second son. But do these great milestones in his life also make him more mature? Not according to his wife, because she is sometimes stuck with three children! The band PlusSupportAct provides the musical accompaniment during this performance.
9.0Ten years, three theater shows, and a best-of show later. A decade has flown by, and his thirtieth birthday is slowly creeping closer. But has Xander De Rycke learned anything over the past few years? Has he actually grown up, or does he just think he has? Flanders' best observational comedian is back and ready for the next step. With a head full of twists and turns, a bunch of colorful references, and an eye on the future, Xander De Rycke is back with "Quarter-Life Crisis." A show with relatable moments about life. Or at least a quarter of it.
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.
0.0A wise man once said 'if it does not fit, you have to push a little harder, then it often fits!' Another wise man once said 'every year deserves a New Year's Eve performance, and I'm going to make that performance !!' You understand, the latter wise man was Dolf Jansen, widely recognized as record holder for New Year's Eve performances of the Netherlands forever. Has he achieved something in his life ... In 2011, Dolf played his own performance and in between still the New Year's Eve, in close cooperation with Pauw & Witteman. In 2012, Dolf will play in specially selected theaters ... .. (roffel) ... New Year's Eve 2012 Exclamation Mark. Passed through the finished year, finished and boned within ninety minutes and sometimes at high (!) Pace. From Elfstedentoch-not to the fall of the cabinet, and if not then surely all other great events. And Nick and Simon, of course. With a lot of jokes. And shreds of poetry. So wise is it then again ...!
0.02017. The displeasure is cheerfully spreading. America is led by an angry guinea pig on an orange leather seat. Terror infests the old continent. But Belgians aren't fased anymore by this. Fear has become as banal as traffic jams, state reforms and grabbing politicians. Who cares? Time for a party!
