After years of hard work, comedian Tim Hartog is impossible to imagine the comedy world without. From his growing online fanbase to his high-profile performances. He has proved over the past year that he not only has a sharp mind, but also an incredible drive to make the Netherlands laugh. Now it is time for the next step: conquering the rest of the Netherlands with the follow-up to his successful tour 'Friction'. With his disarming charm and a high dose of jokes, he knows how to grab every audience. At first glance, Tim is a likeable man with sound values. But this professional cheat is a walking barrel of contradictions. And it is precisely these contradictions that make Tim an observant comedian who plays with assumptions and prejudices. Everyone wants to live as nice and comfortable a life as possible. You just don't achieve this by consuming as much as possible. As human beings, we have to deal with feelings you cannot numb. So we do have to confront ourselves and the world around us. Fortunately, because without friction, you don't get shine. About Tim: Tim Hartog graduated from the King's Theatre Academy in 2010 and was in the final of the Leids Cabaret Festival. In recent years, he has managed to build quite an audience through his social media channels, his performances at Comedy Club Haug, hosting the very first Rijnmond Oudejaarsconference (2023) and gaining a final place in 'De Slimste Mens'(2024). In addition, he is a welcome guest on the Dutch comedy circuit as well as a much sought-after presenter. On television, he appeared on 'The Comedy Factory' and 'De Grote Improvisatieshow'. He performed at major festivals such as Paaspop and Lowlands. The press about 'Friction': "With a combination of sharp jokes, compelling stories and subtle emotions, Hartog creates a performance that is not only entertaining, but also thought-provoking. ... Friction is an inspiring example of how humour and depth reinforce each other. Tim Hartog leaves an indelible impression." (Ilovetheatre) "Although porn can easily become a flat topic, Hartog manages to limit this with his angle - the origins of addiction. His struggle with this is woven throughout the performance like a thread. This brings depth and sometimes some heaviness to the performance, without sacrificing the humour." (Theaterkrant) More info?
