60ste Editie Cameretten Festival try-outs halve finalisten
Six semi-finalists battle for your funny bone and your heart – who will be the new cabaret star?
For 60 years, Cameretten has been the springboard for cabaret talents who later conquer the country. And where does such a flourishing career on stage begin? That’s right: with a try-out for an audience that loves nothing more than being surprised. Will you join us on this journey of discovery?
In October and November, the six semi-finalists of the 60th edition will tour the theaters. During the try-outs, all sorts of things will be presented. While one excels in relatable and therefore hilarious anecdotes, another takes you into a story full of absurdism. Or you might be taken by surprise by a number that touches you as if it were written especially for you. Every evening, you will discover three new cabaret and comedy talents from the Netherlands and Flanders. You will know who is performing by early October.
Many discoveries preceded the budding comedians, such as Brigitte Kaandorp, Richard Groenendijk, Jandino Asporaat, Plien & Bianca, Daniël Arends, René van Meurs, Ronald Goedemondt, Kiki Schippers, Janneke de Bijl, Remy Evers, Yunus Aktas, and Bro's. Who knows, you might soon be grinning as you say: “I saw them at the try-out of their very first show!”
