Welkom

Martijn received a real kickstart as a comedian. After winning the audience’s award at the Griffioen/Zuidplein Cabaret Festival 2014, he won all the awards at the Groninger Student Cabaret Festival. And then also the jury’s and audience’s award at the Leids Cabaret Festival with his performance Jongensboek.

In addition to being a comedic performer, Martijn can be seen on TV on RTL Late Night with Twan Huys, among others. And on De Slimste Mens, he even managed to make Maarten van Rossum laugh.
"Loneliness and excessive individualism; these are meaningful themes that Kardol offers here in light-hearted jokes and smoothly told stories" (Telegraaf). Martijn Kardol is an "endearing storyteller" (Theaterkrant) with a completely unique style: "He takes you into his world of thoughts and depicts one everyday situation after another in a hilariously recognizable way" (Theater Paradise).

Martijn's second performance Welkom has been awarded three and four star reviews again. A performance that is more topical than ever. About social distancing, online living and individualism, before they became mainstream.
In Welkom, the comedian makes contact with the world and the people around him. Or at least attempts to do so because… anything is better than ending in solitude.
