Raymann is back and coming to Markant!
In 1998, the Netherlands got to know the true entertainer Jörgen Raymann. Already world-famous in Suriname, he started with a small tour in the Netherlands. This did not go unnoticed, as NTR immediately asked him to be the presenter for ‘The Comedy Factory’, the first stand-up comedy show on Dutch television. Raymann quickly became a household name in the comedy scene. He then created successful full-length theater programs for many years. In 2001, he also launched his own late-night TV program on NPO: ‘Raymann is late’. This very successful and trendsetting program ran for over 15 years on Dutch TV and was the longest-running late-night personality program in NPO's history. In 2019, he concluded his theater career with a final tour in the Netherlands.
He withdrew from the entertainment world and has since become a successful speaker and trainer for large organizations, SMEs, and the government. However, he got the itch again and wrote a new theater program. In 2024, he will present this show to sold-out venues during a short tour through Suriname, where it all began.
In 2026, Jörgen will turn 60 and will tour the Netherlands again with "Welkom thuis," his ‘Bigi Yari’ or ‘Crowning Year’ show. It is a continuation of his successful show ‘Even Slikken,’ which he performed in Dutch theaters xx years ago. Now he tells the story of Mister Lasmibalsingh, the Dutch Surinamese who wants to return to his country after 40 years but discovers that he is a Surinamese everywhere in the world, except in Suriname. There, he is now seen as a ‘tata,’ so how welcome is he at home?
