Herman Finkers: Take it easy, on the double
Caribbean Combo: Ze ZIJN er weer!
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.
Zijn humoristische stijl kan omschreven worden als absurd, volks, subversief, anarchistisch, kinderlijk, morbide, soms vulgair en populistisch.
From March to June 1983, the Dutch comedian Freek de Jonge performed his fifth solo performance: De mythe ('The myth'). In the programme booklet he included the following quote from Polish-British anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski: 'Myth as it exists in a savage community, that is in its living primitive form, is not merely a story told but a reality lived.'
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.
Stage registration of the seventh comedy special 'Troosten' by the Dutch comedian Jochen Otten. His inability to make his daughter stop crying was the reason for Otten to make this performance about emotions. How can you reach someone's emotions.

Jan Jaap van der Wal: Onderbewust
André van Duin - Ja Hoor... Daar Is Ie Weer!
With great pace, jokes and a good dose of self-mockery, the Moroccan comedian tells poignant stories taken from real life.
Registration of the sixt theatre program by the Dutch comedian Theo Maassen.
Hard pruning jokes are interspersed with musical interludes, a magic trick and Teeuwen's unique improvisations in the sixth show by the Dutch comedian Hans Teeuwen.
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.
Stand-up comedian Ronald Goedemondt converts his daily experience as a man in his forties into astute humor about fatherhood and aging.
