Herman Finkers, born as Hermenegildus Felix Victor Maria Finkers on December 9, 1954, in Almelo, Netherlands, is a beloved Dutch cabaret artist and comedian, renowned for his unique brand of humor that combines dry wit with a touch of the absurd. Finkers has carved out a niche in the Dutch comedy scene with his gentle, yet sharp observational comedy, and his ability to play with language has endeared him to fans across linguistic boundaries.

While Finkers' discography includes titles such as "Missa Sancti Georgii" and "Ad Vesperas Beatae Mariae Virginis," it's important to note that these are not typical of a musician's catalog but rather reflect his wide-ranging talents and forays into different art forms, including theatre and literary work. His oeuvre is a mix of stand-up, music, and often includes elements of traditional theatre. Finkers has also ventured into television and authored several books, all of which showcase his clever and nuanced sense of humor. Despite dealing with a serious illness that temporarily halted his career in the early 2000s, he made a significant comeback and continues to be an influential figure in Dutch comedy and culture.
