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.

Registration of the fourth theatre program by the Dutch comedian Pieter Derks.
This theatre performance is built around the 'seven corporal works of mercy'. Comedian Maarten van Roozendaal tells and sings about life, death, love, spring and bears. He is accompanied by Egon Kracht on double bass and Marcel de Groot on guitar.
The first show by the Dutch comedian Kasper van der Laan.
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.
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!
In dit tweede solo-programma komt hij nóg harder, nóg scherper en nóg pikanter uit de hoek. Gevoelige toeschouwers weze bij deze gewaarschuwd: geen huisje - heilig of niet -blijft overeind, geen thema onbenut. "Morimos Solamente" bevat geen theatrale structuur (heeft dat ook niet nodig), maar kan je best omschrijven als anderhalf uur fantastisch verbaal geweld. "The World According To Alex Agnew" dus…
Stage registration of the theatreprogram by Dutch musical comedian Hans Dorrestijn and composer Martin van Dijk. The performance takes place in a "madhouse". Dorrestijn is hospitalized because of his suicidal thoughts and Van Dijk for hallucinations as a result of alcohol delirium.
Stand-up comedian Ronald Goedemondt converts his daily experience as a man in his forties into astute humor about fatherhood and aging.
The show is mainly about his various friends in Leiden and the people who share this city with him. He talks about his neighbors Halfzeven, Halfacht, and Halfnegen, jumps around to waltz music, does impressions of Dutch celebrities while standing on the vibrating belt, and is joined on either side by holograms of himself dancing along with him.
Destressing? Do that at home, will you! In 'Adéhadé', everything goes in overdrive, with many Dutch celebrity impressions.
Video registration of the second comedy special by the Dutch comedian Martijn Kardol. A show about social distancing, the online life and individualism.
Registration of the first theatre program by the Dutch comedian Theo Maassen.
Armed with many hilarious anecdotes, he immediately gets right to the point. With a sharp insight into his brown roots and the milky white roots of this society, he knows how to entertain the audience in his own unique way. The beautiful song "Ik mis je zo" (I miss you so much) and the antics of his ghetto cousin "Ongie" make this DVD complete.
