Wim De Bie

**Wim De Bie** was a legendary Dutch comedian, writer, and satirist best known as one half of the iconic comedy duo **Van Kooten en De Bie**, alongside Kees van Kooten. Active from the 1970s to the 1990s, the pair became national treasures in the Netherlands, blending sharp social commentary, absurd humor, and unforgettable characters in their TV shows, sketches, and albums. Their work, including albums like *Hengstenbal* and *Draaikonten*, skewered Dutch politics, media, and everyday life with wit and irreverence, cementing their status as pioneers of Dutch comedy.

After the duo retired in 1998, Wim De Bie continued to explore creative projects, including solo music ventures like *Wim De Bie Zingt A-Capella* and collaborations that kept his quirky style alive. His later works, such as *Gouden Doden* and *De Wereldmuziek Van Cananefaten*, showcased his playful experimentation with music and storytelling. Though he passed away in 2023, his legacy as a master of satire and a defining voice in Dutch pop culture remains unmatched.
