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.

Wim Helsen Heden Soup! HOMELESS, KINGS, SAINTS AND COLD WATER FISHING: They all eat soup. Also mistresses love soup. They eat them with spoons, some dip bread in it or slurp on the edge of their soup bowl. One can of doing anything. Tomatoes, leeks, pumpkins, chicken.

With "Xander De Rycke houdt het voor bekeken" (Xander De Rycke calls it quits), he gives the audience a razor-sharp overview. This fall, Xander will take a close look at everything from September 2016 to September 2017. From strong fiction to weak reality and from blockbusters to box office flops. Nothing has escaped his gaze. His conclusion? You'll have to hear it for yourself on the evening itself. But for now, he's calling it quits.
