About Dolf Jansen

Dolf Jansen is a comedian, writer, musician, presenter, and marathon runner. He started his cabaret career with Hans Sibbel (Lebbis) in 1989 with success when he participated in the Leids Cabaret Festival. This was followed by many sold-out cabaret shows for the duo Lebbis and Jansen, including New Year’s programs. Since 2006, Dolf has been touring with his theater programs across Dutch theaters and is a welcome guest on daily current affairs programs.

Dolf Jansen is creative. He writes a lot and often: columns, poems, song lyrics, travel stories, interviews, and for various radio and television programs. He also regularly creates special tailor-made performances for companies, conferences, etc., and interviews with a sharp tongue. In January 2016, Dolf delivered an impassioned speech at the first Dutch Correspondents’ Dinner, in front of politicians and parliamentary press.

On the radio, Jansen can be heard every week on ‘Spijkers met Koppen’, and he is the regular columnist for Vroege Vogels, Runnersworld, and De Nieuws BV. Dolf is a committed person. He supports Oxfam Novib and WarChild, the HIER! campaign, and the KWF. Dolf Jansen is available as a speaker, moderator, interviewer, comedian, and columnist. He is often much calmer than people expect, but the humor is always lurking somewhere!

Dolf offers the audience a verbal rollercoaster where he takes them over peaks of eloquence and through valleys of dilemmas. On such a course, you must be able to improvise like the best and dare to deviate from the ideal line when current events demand it. And then also make jokes. Lots of jokes. Leave that to Dolf.
