Herman Finkers

Herman Finkers

Hermenegildus ("Herman") Felix Victor Maria Finkers (born December 9 1954 in Almelo, Overijssel) is a comedian from the Dutch region of Twente, who became famous because for his dry-witted humour and his ambiguous style of storytelling. He temporarily stopped performing in 2000 when he had been diagnosed with a form of leukemia. On August 5, 2006 a Fuchsia was named after him. In 2007 he started playing in theatres again, with a new show called "Na de Pauze" (After the Break).

Twents

Finkers has a strong love for the Twents dialect. He has translated a number of his shows into Twents Low Saxon, which is his mother tongue. He also wrote and directed two short animation films, which were completely in Twents: "Kroamskudn in Mariaparochie" (which tells the story of the birth of Christ in a Twents setting) and his comic interpretation of William Shakespeare's "MacBeth", the former of which is shown annually around christmas on regional television. After his theatre retirement, Finkers played a role in the first Soap series in Twents: "Van Jonge Leu en Oalde Groond" (About Young People and Old Soil).For his efforts to promote the Twents dialect he received the Johanna van Buuren prize.
