Paul de Leeuw: Ik Ben Rustig

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.

In his first comedy special the Flemish comedian Pieter Verelst tells a bizarre story about his childhood, which he spent with his brother (existing or not) in a boring village in Flanders. Together they tackle this dullness and use it as a source of inspiration for a strange creativity.

Caribbean Combo: Ze ZIJN er weer!

Registration of the second theatre program by the Dutch comedian Paulien Cornelisse.

In the last theater show (1981) of the Dutch cabaret company Don Quishocking, the internal dispute is central. When George Groot returns from Pune, it appears that he has joined the Bhagwan movement. All group members deal with it in their own way, but it seems inevitable that the group members have grown apart.

Thomas Smith: Will set you free

Registration 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.

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

Zijn humoristische stijl kan omschreven worden als absurd, volks, subversief, anarchistisch, kinderlijk, morbide, soms vulgair en populistisch.

Herman Finkers: Take it easy, on the double

André van Duin - Ja Hoor... Daar Is Ie Weer!

Jan Jaap van der Wal: Dystopia

The Lord sends his archangel Raphael to earth to finish some unresolved matters. Raphael ends up in Amsterdam and gets entangled in local troubles, including womenemancipation, secularisation and the impending restructuring of the city center. The musical alludes to local, then topical issues. This musical was on the occasion of the seven hundredth anniversary of the city of Amsterdam, and loosely based on 'Gijsbrecht van Aemstel', the 17th-century history play by Joost van den Vondel.
