About
Brigitte Kaandorp has been one of the best known names in Dutch cabaret since the 1980s, blending absurdist humor with songs that swing from comic to genuinely moving. Her style has a deliberately chaotic feel to it, mixing stunts and personal stories with music she performs herself on piano, accordion, and ukulele, often singing in a voice that cracks at just the right moment. She broke through nationally with her 1990 show Kouwe drukte and has kept audiences coming back ever since with a long string of solo productions. Over the decades she has picked up serious recognition, including a Gouden Harp and the Annie M.G. Schmidt prize, and in 2009 she was appointed Officer in the Order of Orange Nassau. More recently she has collaborated on stage with Jenny Arean in Gedeelde smart and appeared in the 2024 production De Grote Adventshow alongside Patrick Stoof.
