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).

Herman Finkers: Take it easy, on the double
First aid is my passion and my life. One traffic light turns red, another turns green: there's always something to do in Almelo. One of Herman Finkers' most famous quotes. Herman Finkers has been writing and performing theater programs since 1979. His programs are difficult to describe. He was probably best described in the Utrechts Nieuwsblad: 'master of the double punchline,' 'witty excess that does no harm,' 'sublime nonsense.' EHBO is my passion and my life is Herman Finkers' fourth program, recorded in the Leidse Schouwburg.
Even after Swallow, Slave Or Not Addicted now the third show namely in Holland Mine House Jörgen Raymann. Jörgen has past 2 years this show screened in all theaters throughout the Netherlands. Important detail: All performance were completely sold out! The reactions after the shows were called very good, especially the press was full of praise for the show, which lasts about 2 hours. Jörgen grows after every show he presents. After some years the boards have been able Raymann now like a house on stage. And that's exactly what this show is about. A brilliant show full of humor but also very sharp, serious and politically charged topics. If you have not seen the show in the theater, this is your chance to watch it yet.
