Maaike Dirkje Hop is a Dutch cabaret performer who won both the jury prize and the audience prize at the Cameretten Festival in 2025. Her work blends intellectual wit with warmth, and she tends to push beyond the conventions of traditional Dutch cabaret. Her show Erkenning de Musical received praise from critics at NRC and de Volkskrant.
Maaike Dirkje Hop presents an evening of women trying out new material. The line-up stays secret until showtime, but promises original cabaret that is sometimes hilarious, sometimes vulnerable.
Two complete cabaret programmes in one night: Maaike Dirkje Hop presents her acclaimed musical-cabaret 'Erkenning', followed by Kim Karssen with 'God is een snotje' - a chaotic mix of performance and physical humour.
