About

Sara Kroos (born 1981, Wijngaarden) is a Dutch cabaret performer, author and former radio presenter who has been a fixture of Dutch cabaret for over two decades. She first made her mark by winning the audience prize at the Leids Cabaret Festival in 2000, and gained national recognition as a regular on the TV improvisation show De Lama's (2005-2006). Her tenth show Verte (2019) earned her the Poelifinario, the top Dutch cabaret award, and in 2024 she returned to the stage after a four-year absence with Prikkelarme kermis, which was nominated for the Poelifinario again in 2025.
