Brigitte Allegonda Maria Kaandorp (born March 10, 1962 in Haarlem ) is a Dutch cabaret artist.

Career and style

After she had won a prize at the Camerettenfestival in 1983 , her breakthrough came with the Kouwe drukte program . Kaandorp worked closely with Bert Klunder. Together with him she appeared on the show Miss Kaandorp - Brigitte de musical (1998). These and other shows were produced under the direction of Klunder. After Klunder's death, Kaandorp worked with Jessica Borst.

She owes her popularity to a large extent to her own style of "new silliness": so-called professional talk into the room. Hilarious actions alternate with soulful songs in quick succession. She often uses the voice over as a singing technique. Kaandorp does not see it as their job to make the world a better place, but to entertain it, and yet knows how to hit an important nerve here and there.

Awards

She won many prizes, including the Gouden Harp in 2006. On March 28, 2009, she was accepted as an officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau .

Personal

Kaandorp is married and has two children from a previous relationship.
