Oudejaarsconference

This comedy was performed after the Gijsbrecht van Aemstel tragedy to ensure that the audience did not return home in a sad mood.

The Dutch comedian Wim Kan gave in 1954 a conference on the radio, in which he made jokes and looked back on the year 1954.

However, in 1969 Wim Kan was unable to perform due to fatigue, so Seth Gaaikema did the oudejaarsconference in 1969.

On the first television network, Wim Kan held a conference (broadcast by VARA) and on the second television network a oudejaarsconference was broadcast by IKON, performed by the new and refreshing comedian Freek de Jonge.

In 1989, comedian Youp van 't Hek held a oudejaarsconference on television for the first time.

[3] Comedian Peter Pannekoek succeeded Youp van 't Hek in 2021 to do the oudejaarsconference, which was well received.

The following year, Claudia de Breij did the conference for BNNVARA and Guido Weijers for RTL 4.

And then as himself in a blue jumper with oliebollen on it, who deviated from tradition and called on people to turn off the television and their phones and talk to each other and celebrate New Year's Eve together.

[7] Comedian Guido Weijers had cancelled his oudejaarsconference for television channel RTL 4, because he says he 'doesn't have time' to produce the conference.

Comedian Sjaak Bral has made conferences every year since 1996, especially for the regional channel Omroep West.

From 2012 to 2018, Michael Van Peel provided the oudejaarsconference for the public broadcaster VRT.
