In the organizer's words:

The Dutch cabaret artist PATRICK NEDERKOORN wants to move to the German-Dutch border. In a sympathetic, disarming and naturally funny way, he finds out on which side of the border he will spend his future. In the country where drugs are legally consumed and cheese is indulged in? Or in Holland after all?

In his second German-language program, Patrick combines personal stories with current issues. DER FLIEHENDE HOLLÄNDER is a musical, touching and refreshingly funny program about borders, love, flight, family and taxes. And about how differences between people can be bridged.

Patrick is known from the SAT.1 program DIE BESTEN COMEDIANS DEUTSCHLANDS - and as a Dutchman, that's saying something. With his first program DIE ORANGENE GEFAHR he was nominated for the PRIX PANTHEON and won the KOMIKER JACKPOT. He also won the Franconian Cabaret Prize 2023, the Tuttlinger Krähe 2023 and the Reinheimer Satirelöwen 2023. The Bonner General-Anzeiger wrote: "Nederkoorn is indeed a strong comedian, excellent singer and born entertainer".

The program is a collaboration with the Kom(m)ödchen in Düsseldorf.
