The jury praises André van Duin for his versatile, cross-generational career that spans more than half a century. “He is a great folk comedian, but has also more than earned his stripes as a revue artist, singer, actor, presenter and radio and television maker,” says the report, quoting Brandsteder.
“I want to add a personal word to it,” said Brandsteder. “I think you will also receive the prize because you have a pleasant character. Everyone loves you. You are a loyal friend, you will never say anything bad about a colleague and you are loved by everyone. You have the good factor.”
