Raised in Afghanistan before fleeing to the Netherlands as a child, he explores that journey with humour in his debut solo show 'U bevindt zich hier' ('You Are Here'), touching on war, peace and integrating into Dutch culture. He has reached the finals of several Dutch cabaret competitions, including the Leeuwarder Cabaret Festival, Puck's Cabaret Talent and, in 2024, the Cameretten Festival and the Leids Cabaret Festival.
Hermes Ahmadi reached the final of the prestigious Cameretten Festival in 2024 and participated in the Leiden Cabaret Festival.
After the Cameretten final, he toured the Netherlands with fellow finalists Oscar Smit and Luuk Weggemans until March 2025 in the finalists tour.
Hermes Ahmadi made his TV debut with a cameo in RTL's program The Box.
Besides his theater tour, Hermes Ahmadi is currently working on a second production about how people experience reality.
