Comedy Café - Maarten D'Haene, Tom Cools, Isabelle Dieperink and MC Jens Deferm

MC Jens Deferm receives D’Haene, Isabelle Dieperink and Tom Cools during this Comedy Café Maarten. We are still adding to this line-up. Check our website and socials for updates! Maarten D’Haene is steadily building his way in the Flemish comedy world. With his victory of the Lunatic Comedy Award 2024 and his role at the Levels Comedy Club in Ghent, his name grew quickly. On stage, he seems calm and nonchalant, but with the microphone in hand, he turns into a storyteller who takes his audience into an absurd and recognizable world of thought. His stories are full of sharp humor, unexpected turns, and surprising connections. Tom Cools is a fixed value in our comedy programming. He is just about our permanent MC, but this time he is bringing a sports year review containing the funniest sports events of 2026. Tom is an audience warm-up act at De Ideale Wereld, Extra Time, Wielerclub Wattage, is active as a stadium announcer at KVC Westerlo, and is a sought-after opening act for the biggest comedians. Isabelle Dieperink (NL) is an all-or-nothing personality: in love, with alcohol, and on stage. With sharp humor and a good portion of self-mockery, she fillets people and especially herself mercilessly. She talks freely about love, her complicated relationship with alcohol, and what it's like to grow up in ’t Gooi. Isabelle Dieperink studied at the Koningstheateracademie: the university for cabaret in the Netherlands! Jens Deferm, straight from Tuilt (and yes, you pronounce that as OWL with two T's) ended up in the comedy circuit by accident, but turned out to thrive surprisingly well in it. As a young teacher, he navigates through the adult world, with varying success and a lot of questions. Prepare yourself for sharp observations, hilarious doubts, and a portion of pure, unadulterated stand-up! Jens was a finalist Schaal Lies Lefever 2025 and if there had been an audience award, he would certainly have won it. Jens guides the evening in the right direction!
