Pretty decent. We have a strong tradition in Dutch "cabaret". Which is sortoff stand-up comedy, theater, song and dance mixed up in one. (or parts of it). Social themes and political satire are also in the mix. I'm guessing there are at-least 25-30 big names who do annual tours and sell out the big theaters.

To bad it's heavily language dependent to actually enjoy most of the times for foreigners. One of my favorite "Caberatiers" Hans Theeuwen did try a show in English and performed at edingburh festival years back.

Edit: bad sync on that.

Van Waardeburg en de Jong always made good absurdist shows, I've seen them a lot.

You might have seen this "english sports" clip from Dutch TV absurdist comedians Jiskefet, here is one of my favorite bits about a Dutch football dad

That is a documentary so obviously not funny.
