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!

"Zoey Bird is an extremely well known and popular personality in the horse racing and equine world. Best known as a television presenter on Sky Channel 415 At The Races (ATR), Zoey fronts news programmes, chat shows and special features and is one of a regular team hosting live outside broadcasts from race meetings around the country. As well as her regular TV slots, Zoey is a frequent and experienced host for awards ceremonies, charity events and hospitality gatherings at sporting events, many held at prestigious venues in London. Zoey has for the last few years hosted the National All Weather Jockeys and Trainers Championship Awards at Lingfield Park along with co-host Derek Thompson from Channel 4. The event is attended by 300 guests and filmed by ATR. Zoey always conducts this and other ceremonies with grace and professionalism, and as well as her extremely good looks and beautiful dress sense, she has the personality, calmness and intelligence needed for live audience stage performances. I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending Zoey as a host or presenter for any sporting or other public event."
