History
Kees Torn is a Dutch text writer, composer and comedy performer. Torn started his cabaret performance in 1991, when he was studying at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. As "Kees en Ik" (Kees and I), he performed quite a successful show with fellow student Gerrie Hondius. In 1994 he made his official solo-debut with the show. Torn is known for his old fashioned style of comedy performance, which consists largely of songs and poems. Torn prefers to write about whisky, cigars and love. He won a Poelifenario for his show 'Dood en verderf '('Death and destruction').
Filmmaker André van der Hout made an intimate film portrait about Dutch musical comedian, poet, thinker and drinker Kees Torn, who stopped performing in 2012.
