Biography

[edit]

Verveer was born and raised in Paramaribo, Suriname. In 1995, he came into contact with stand-up comedy and participated in a talent show.[1]

In 1999, Verveer moved to the Netherlands and joined Raoul Heertje's comedy company "Comedytrain" that same year. In 2003, he performed his first full-length theater program, named Eigen vermogen ("Equity"), a title with a double meaning and a nod to Verveer's background in the financial sector.[2]

In 2010 and 2011, Verveer performed together with fellow comedians Murth Mossel, Jandino Asporaat and Howard Komproe under the name "Caribbean Combo". The comedy group toured the Netherlands, Suriname and the Dutch Caribbean islands during the Winter months.[3]
