Tobi Kooiman

Tobi Kooiman is a comedian, stand-up comedian, mathematician and stoic, and in 2019 he won the Audience Award at the Cameretten cabaret festival, where the jury spoke of “a true feast for the theater visitor” and newspaper NRC appreciated his “talent for a coherent story, clever jokes and striking reasoning.”

His first solo performance, Best Of, premiered in 2021 in De Kleine Komedie in Amsterdam and immediately received ★★★★★ from cabaret.nl – that hadn’t happened since 2019! “What a refreshing wind Tobi Kooiman blows. (…) Although you must have had a number of ‘hits’ for a ‘Best Of’, there are already in abundance with this first performance.” Newspaper De Volkskrant also called him “a personality with a witty, idiosyncratic view of the world” and de Theaterkrant wrote: “The insight we get into that clever, special head of his is original and funny. (…) I hope those children will come. Because I can already look forward to the programs that will result.”
