Raymann is back!
In 1998, the Netherlands was introduced to the born entertainer Jörgen Raymann. Already world-famous in Suriname, he started with a small tour in the Netherlands. This did not go unnoticed, as the NTR immediately asked him to present ‘The Comedy Factory’, the first stand-up comedy show on Dutch television. Subsequently, he created successful full-length theater programs for years. In 2001, his own late-night TV program on the NPO was added to this: ‘Raymann is laat’, which aired for 15 years. In 2019, he concluded his theater career. He withdrew from the entertainment world and is now a successful speaker and trainer for large organizations. Nevertheless, he got the urge to perform again and wrote a new theater program. In 2024, he performed this show to sold-out venues during a short tour of Suriname, where it all began, after all. In 2026, Jörgen turns 60 and will tour the Netherlands again with "Welkom thuis," his ‘Bigi Yari’ or ‘Coronation Year’ show. It is a sequel to his successful show ‘Even Slikken’, with 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, people now see him as a ‘tata’ anyway, so how welcome is he home?
