Laughing Without Labels | Chassé Theater

Come and enjoy an evening of laughter without labels with cabaret artists Victor Luis van Es, Céline Schrama, Gavin Reijnders & Hermes Ahmadi during the Be Proud Weekend.

About Victor Luis van Es
Victor is a true storyteller, open, honest, and naturally very funny. He has elevated the saying, 'from his heart, not a murderers’ hideout,' to an art form. He doesn’t shy away from any subject or personal experience if he thinks we can laugh at it.

He has been recognized multiple times in his career, such as reaching the finals of the Cameretten Festival in 2016 and winning the Aegon Future Generation Award in 2019. Victor has now created three theatre shows and tours all over the country.

About Céline Schrama
Against all expectations, and especially her own, Céline Schrama shined in 2022 by reaching the final of the Leids Cabaret Festival. Shortly after, she appeared at Comedy Club Haug, where she quickly developed into a sharp stand-up comedian. Her lightning-fast interactions and sharp humor quickly won the hearts of a broad audience.

With performances at iconic festivals like Lowlands and presenting roles for renowned companies, Céline has grown into a versatile entertainer comfortable on almost every stage.

About Gavin Reijnders
In 2019, Gavin Reijnders reached the final of the Leidse Cabaret Festival with his ukulele. The festival jury praised him for presenting a different voice within the cabaret context. In 2022, Gavin won the BNNVARA TV program Ik Ga Stuk!, in which Stefano Keizers searched for new comedy talent.

In the theatre season following the program, he toured with his first full-length show, Glittermoe, across the Netherlands and will receive the Bob Angelo Star of the Future from COC Netherlands in 2025.

About Hermes Ahmadi
Hermes Ahmadi is a versatile presence on stage. In 2018, he started with cabaret, and he quickly reached the finals of events like the Leeuwarder Cabaret Festival and Puck’s Cabaret Talent. Since then, he has been touring the country as a cabaret artist and comedian, gathering a rich collection of stories and material. In 2024, he participated in the Leids Cabaret Festival and reached the final during Cameretten!

Hermes is storytelling, but also goes for sharp and unexpected jokes, unique character types, and relatable yet bizarre topics, such as integration, climate change, FlixBus, frikandel sausages, and Flitsmeister.
