Hij ziet er zo aardig uit...
Hij ziet er zo aardig uit, maar pas op, hij slaat genadeloos toe. Vooral zichzelf spaart hij niet. Waar de meeste vijftigers besluiten op de motor te klimmen, klom Frank het standup podium op, om zijn eigen visie op het leven te delen. Of het nou in New York, Tokyo, Dinxperlo, of Utrecht is. Overdag is hij futurist, ’s avond in de spotlights zoekt hij zijn thema’s dichter bij huis.
Thomas Smith
Big Binge of Comedy - Saturday
Belgische Eddie Izzard
Thomas Smith staat 23 jaar op de planken en is één van de top ambachtsheersers binnen de Belgisch/Nederlandse stand up comedy scene. Hij is gekend van vele televisie programma’s, geeft stand up comedy les aan het conservatorium van Mechelen en zijn avondvullende shows worden steevast ontvangen met 5 sterren recensies in de pers. Thomas Smith is een vaste waarde die zijn gelijke niet kent in de stand-upcomedyscene.
Belgische pers (de Standaard):
“Thomas Smith doet ons nog het meeste denken aan de Engelse superster Eddie Izzard; even grappig, even expressief, even geïnformeerd en even diepgravend. Kortom, wereldniveau!”

Glenn Wool
Big Binge of Comedy - Saturday
Lethally funny
Glenn began his comedy career in his hometown of Vancouver in 1995… Made the move to London in 1998 and quickly became one of the rising stars, and household names on the UK & European comedy circuits.
He has toured all over the world including: Australia, New Zealand, USA, South Africa, Switzerland, France, Croatia, Arabia & Asia (to name a few!)
Winning over audiences globally and a TV favourite on the Melbourne, Sydney & New Zealand International Comedy Galas. Glenn was nominated for Best International Act at the New Zealand Comedy Awards and was twice nominated as Best Headliner at the Chortle Awards.
“An hour with Wool is worth about ten hours with many other comics.”
★★★★ The Scotsman
His impressive array of TV credits include John Oliver’s ‘New York Stand-Up Show’ as well as appearances on: The Green Room with Paul Provenza, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Russell Howard’s Good News!
Glenn was a highlight on The John Bishop Show (BBC1) and hosted a new NBC series Before the Morning After.
Would have heard him alongside his co-host Frankie Boyle on their podcast Freestyle..
As a guest on The Richard Herring Podcast and seen him on Doug Stanhope’s The Comedians’ Comedian’s Comedians (SeeSo), which was recorded at SXSW!
“Seeing Glenn Wool perform should be made compulsory for the melancholy. There’s no way you won’t feel a bit better about the world afterwards. Lethally funny”
★★★★ Metro
Most recently Glenn has been touring with Reginald D Hunter for his Some People v. Reginald D. Hunter tour, but is also a favourite opener for the likes of Doug Stanhope and Frankie Boyle!
Mat Ricardo
Big Binge of Comedy - Saturday
The Gentleman Juggler
Mat Ricardo is, according to The Scotsman, “Undoubtedly one of the greatest variety artists working today”.
His thirty-plus year career saw him learn his craft as a street performer in London’s famous Covent Garden, before travelling the worlds theatres, cabaret clubs and festivals, advancing and redefining his artform to become one of the most critically acclaimed and successful speciality acts there is. He is, to quote the London Evening Standard, “Breathtaking”.
His groundbreaking work merges physical and verbal comedy, storytelling, dance and, of course, his trademark spectacular feats of circus, magic and dexterity, all presented in a unique cocktail of cool, slick honesty.
“The best variety act in the business… A man who is most comfortable doing the seemingly impossible in front of an enraptured audience” – Broadway Baby
Awards
He is the only variety artist to ever win the Herald Angel award for excellence in theatre. Additionally, he has won the inaugural British cabaret award for variety, the Kleinkunst cabaret prize, StageTalk magazines show of the year, and the ArtsAward pick of the fringe. He has performed cabaret in virtually every place where it can be performed, in all corners of the globe, including repeat residencies in such iconic venues as The Royal Albert Hall and The Savoy Hotel, and more than once, privately, for members of the British Royal Family.
“Mat Ricardo is amazing!” – HRH King Charles III
His most recent one man show “Mat Ricardo vs The World” sold out every single performance at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, while gaining faultlessly excellent reviews, which paved the way for an extensive UK tour. His previous solo theatre shows have had several sell-out runs in London’s West End, been showcased at the Purcell Room in the South Bank Centre as part of the London International Mime Festival, and toured to packed houses as far afield as Australia, South Korea, Finland, Germany and Belgium.
“Terrific humour and genuine skill. The showman deserves your applause” – The Guardian
