Youp van 't Hek

Youp van 't Hek is a Dutch comedian, cabaret performer, writer, and columnist known for his sharp wit and socially critical humor. Born in 1954, he's been a prominent figure in the Netherlands since the late 1970s, especially famous for his annual "Oudejaarsconference" — a comedic end-of-year monologue that pokes fun at Dutch politics, media, and society. His performances often blend storytelling, satire, and music, making him a beloved voice for multiple generations of Dutch audiences.

Alongside his cabaret work, Youp has released albums and singles, including the cult classic "Flappie," a darkly humorous Christmas song about a missing pet rabbit. Over the years, titles like "De Laatste Ronde," "Met De kennis Van Nu," and "Korrel Zout" have solidified his reputation as both a sharp social commentator and a compelling performer. Whether he's on stage or writing for the NRC Handelsblad newspaper, Youp van 't Hek remains a distinctive and influential cultural figure in the Netherlands.
