Music · Comedy
Overview
A video-registration of the revue/cabaret show 'Showponies 2' by the Alex Klaasen Revue. In this sequel to the first Showponies-show, Alex Klaassen explores to what extent he cares about what (the still quite heteronormative) society thinks. Klaassen considers coming out for a second time, because he feels like he has ended up in a second closet after his first coming out.

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).

TV recording of the hommage to the Dutch lyricist Jurrian van Dongen. Van Dongen wrote countless song lyrics for theater and television. He has been writing for the children's program Het Klokhuis for decades. He also writes for theater programs by Wende Snijders, Jenny Arean, Paul de Leeuw, Alex Klaasen and many others. In addition, he was a teacher at a cabaret academy for a new generation of lyricists.

A wise man once said 'if it does not fit, you have to push a little harder, then it often fits!' Another wise man once said 'every year deserves a New Year's Eve performance, and I'm going to make that performance !!' You understand, the latter wise man was Dolf Jansen, widely recognized as record holder for New Year's Eve performances of the Netherlands forever. Has he achieved something in his life ... In 2011, Dolf played his own performance and in between still the New Year's Eve, in close cooperation with Pauw & Witteman. In 2012, Dolf will play in specially selected theaters ... .. (roffel) ... New Year's Eve 2012 Exclamation Mark. Passed through the finished year, finished and boned within ninety minutes and sometimes at high (!) Pace. From Elfstedentoch-not to the fall of the cabinet, and if not then surely all other great events. And Nick and Simon, of course. With a lot of jokes. And shreds of poetry. So wise is it then again ...!
