About Lisa Ostermann
Lisa Ostermann is a Dutch stand-up comedian, cabaretiere, actress and singer. She trained at the Conservatorium in Haarlem in 2013 and graduated from the Amsterdam Drama School & Cabaret Academy in 2017. On 16 February 2020 she won all three prizes at the 42nd Leids Cabaret Festival - jury, audience and student - and was named comedy talent of 2021 by de Volkskrant.
After her clean sweep at the 2020 Leids Cabaret Festival, Ostermann toured her debut Met z'n allen from 2021 to 2023, performing nearly one hundred times. In 2023-2024 she presented Makkelijk in de omgang, for which she received the Poelifinario (VSCD Cabaretprijs 2024) in the Engagement category, praised by the jury for combining a personal story about performance pressure and fear of failure with the epic rap-musical exhaustion-battle Lisa Fucking Ostermann. In 2023 she was nominated for the Annie M.G. Schmidt Prize for the song Geef me iets. Her current programme De Baas tours in the 2025-2026 season. She also appears in the children's series Het Klokhuis.
Lisa Ostermann tours Dutch theatres with her current cabaret programme De Baas, with confirmed dates at De Kleine Komedie in Amsterdam, Stadsschouwburg Haarlem, Wilminktheater Enschede, Chasse Theater Breda and Meervaart through the 2025-2026 season. Tour information is published on her website lisaostermann.nl.
