The netherlands -
Cabaret/Improvisational/ absurdist/ shock comedy
"80% nonsense and absurdity, and 20% something else - either semi autobiographical or controversial or political".
Hans Teeuwen is a Dutch cabaretier, singer, actor, writer, componer and director.
Hans Eduard Marie Teeuwen is probably Holland's most known cabaretier. He is known for his absurd, apolitical and often controversial style of humour which he uses to shock and confuse his audience. In his acts violence and sex play important roles. His shows are often devoid of political and actual events. He most often plays lonely and pathetic losers, people with different worldviews.
Through his harsh and black humor Hans Teeuwen confronts his audience with their amoral side, he tries to people laugh with the most disgusting and cruel jokes. 'Met de Breierdeck' , his second show, contains a scene in which a person is about to be executed. He offers the audience the chance to stand up against this, which nobody does, thus the man is executed.
From 2007 to 2009 Hans Teeuwen performed abroad, in the UK. This led to mixed results, Suffolk 2008 called his performance as "the ramblings of a lunatic", the Edinburgh Fringe Festival instead called him the find of the festival.
