Beloved far beyond Germany, dachshunds have fans in France too, with events like Paris’s “Sausage Walk.”

Theo Maassen: Ruwe Pit

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).

Micha Wertheim: Somewhere Else

The bigger the audiences for Dutch comedian Micha Wertheim’s shows became, the less he had to do to make them laugh. In one early show, he suggested that the audience would be better off without him. So in 2016, he acted upon this suggestion with an experiment that made theater history: he wasn't physically present onstage but somewhere else. The audience wasn't aware of this in advance, though they did get a hint in the form of a pre-recorded "live" radio interview from a remote studio. "I see my audience as my children," Wertheim says in this interview. "You have to educate them, and that’s what I’ve been doing for the past 15 years. At first you have to constantly be there watching them, but there comes a time when you have to trust them to get on with it without you." With some help from a robot, a printer, a stereo and a set of headphones, the members of his audience were able to make their own performance.

Roué Verveer: Voorwaardelijk Vrij

Het gaat goed met Roué Verveer. De Volkskrant vindt hem "verfrissend geëngageerd" en het NRC Handelsblad roemt zijn fantasie: "Hij vuurt grappen ogenschijnlijk uit de losse pols af, alsof hij ze ter plekke verzint." Geen wonder, want Roué maakt al jaren furore bij de Comedytrain met zijn mooie verhalen en scherpe improvisaties en in zijn theatershows buldert de gulle lach door de zaal. Maar als het goed met je gaat, neemt de angst om het weer kwijt te raken toe. En dat is precies het verhaal achter 'Voorwaardelijk Vrij'. Verveer prikkelt, stemt tot nadenken, en doet dat met heel veel humor. Voorwaardelijk Vrij is opgenomen in De Meervaart in Amsterdam.
