The Cheerful Rascal

The Dutch cabaret artists Harrie Jekkers and Jeroen van Merwijk have performed solo for years. The two old friends have made a program together and perform with songs, stories and dialogues.

In this comedy show the Dutch comedian Katinka Polderman explains (in songs and stories) how her motherhood influenced her view of the relationship between humans and animals.

Registration of the first theatre show by the Dutch comedian Sanne Wallis de Vries.

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).

Na de dvd's 'Kaboom!' en de snoeiharde bevestiging met 'Morimos Solamente' is Alex Agnew toe aan zijn derde stand-up-comedy-theaterregistratie DVD: 'More Human Than Human'.Agnew is uniek. Grover, gewaagder en vooral grappiger dan ooit. Geen enkel onderwerp is veilig. Lichtgeraakte mensen wezen gewaarschuwd: Alex Agnew balanceert altijd op het randje. Wie de Alex Agnew verwacht die geluidjes maakt, zal verrast zijn. Agnew speelt meer in op het publiek, brengt vaak meer doordachte humor en beperkt de human jukebox tot het minimum.Alex Agnew heeft één van de belangrijkste eigenschappen van een goede stand-up: charisma. Die sympathieke uitstraling in combinatie met zijn geniaal materiaal drijft het publiek keer op keer en in een razend snel tempo naar opeenvolgende lachsalvo's die pas stoppen als hij met een buiging het podium verlaat, wat gepaard gaat met een daverend applaus.

Registration of the fourth theatre program by the Dutch comedian Theo Maassen.

Mind 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.

Back 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!
