About Robert Spaapen
Robert Spaapen grew up in Cambridge, England. At an early age he was impressed by leading English comedians like Rowan Atkinson en Stephen Fry, who, as students, were performing in small theatres.
Spaapen studied in Leyden, The Netherlands, and formed the comedy duo Basterd with Onno Innemee. They won prizes at the Amsterdam Kleinkunstfestival 1991.
Robert worked as a comedian, director and scriptwriter for television shows, but couldn’t ignore his English roots. He decided to become a stand up comedian and joined the Dutch Comedytrain.
His alias dr. Howard Beckman was born when he was invited to perform at the annual meeting of KPN, a Dutch telecom company. With his tailored fake speeches he has fooled many international managers and politicians. English humour at its best!
Daryl A. Perkins, Curriculum Director
"It is with great pride and honor that I acknowledge the expertise of Angélique Koopmans as a presenter.
I was recently in Amsterdam and the group of training professionals that I worked with needed some expertise on how to 'look' the part of a Professional Trainer. The local franchisee knew of Ms. Koopmans and invited her to speak with our group. She was nothing less than spectacular! Her relaxed demeanor and poise in front of our group made it easy to connect with her and the subject matter.
Even more importantly, she responded to challenging questions that not only answered the inquiries but she did so by responding to the entire group. This professional act alone set her apart from many of the trainers that I have been associated with for the past 25 years.
Another fact regarding Angelique was her professional attire that commanded respect. Many people 'talk' about looking the part, Angéelique does in fact, look the part of a polished, smooth, and successful professional speaker.
Any organization that wishes to impress their associates with a powerful message would be well advised to hire Angéelique Koopmans as their speaker."
