In 2013, the Rotterdam comedian snatched all the prizes at Cameretten, the annual award for best comedian. Then the Rotterdam native crossed the Erasmus Bridge and conquered the rest of the Netherlands. Patrick Laureij came, saw and conquered. He blew away his audience with his jokes. The theaters became increasingly sold out. First with the program Dekking Hoog, now again with Nederlands Hoop.

In September, Patrick Laureij takes the stage at De Kleine Komedie. A Maas man in an Amstel theater.
