Thijs Kemperink
Cabaretier Thijs Kemperink from Twente is an inimitable storyteller. In his new show "Driven to the very end", Thijs takes you on a journey through our current society, where common sense increasingly takes place for what he calls the 'unhealthy' mind. Thijs encounters himself more and more often. He stumbles on sides of himself, which he would rather have kept secret. Not long ago he reached the proverbial edge and, without thinking twice, was about to take the right into his own hands. Fortunately it didn't come that far, because with two left hands that is not the best option.
How can we ensure that we bring more patience for each other? That we show more respect? How do we ensure that we are not driven to the limit? In his new performance, Thijs shares his fears in a hilarious and moving way. He wants to prepare everyone for what is to come if he is ever "driven to the utmost". With his masterful storytelling and unparalleled feeling for timing, he provides the liberating smile, but whether that is justified? Thijs knows how to make heavy themes like no other heavy themes and heavy themes heavy. He makes you think smiling.

Dagblad van het Noorden ★★★★: “ever seen an authentic representative of Twente? ... A suggestion: take Thijs Kemperink seriously, now that he has untenably passed on from stand-up comedy to cabaret. ”

Theaterkrant, Twente New Year's Eve Conference 2024: “Thijs Kemperink makes sharp jokes, but also cuts a few serious subjects, such as the AZC nearby. It is really a shame that the Kemperink playlist is concentrated in the east of the country. ”
