Graphic design for theater
Theater is magic, and translating that magic into a fitting image remains one of my favorite activities. On this page, you’ll find a mix of my designs for comedians, performers, and theater productions. Think posters, playbills, social media content, and short animated GIFs. Each design is created to capture the energy and character of a performance, sparking curiosity.
From comedy posters for Pieter Derks and Dolf Jansen to visual campaigns for Kasper van der Laan — I’m always excited to dive into every production
Jan Jaap van der Wal
Design for Dutch comedian Jan Jaap van der Wal and his latest theater show. Jan Jaap is a sharp, witty, and experienced performer who has captivated audiences in both the Netherlands and Belgium. In this show, he returns to Dutch theaters with the unique perspective of an “outsider” living in Belgium. Combining Dutch directness with Flemish nuance, Jan Jaap explores what the two cultures can learn from each other in his signature comedic style.
Pieter Derks
Poster design for Dutch comedian Pieter Derks and his “Oudejaarsconference.”
Pieter Derks delivers sharp wit, poetic insight, and a comedic punch in his annual “Oudejaarsconference,” a Dutch tradition where the past year is dissected with humor and heart. From political missteps to societal quirks, Pieter turns chaos into clarity, outrage into laughter, and despair into lightness—all before the clock strikes midnight.
Catch the broadcast on December 31st at 22:30 on NPO1 (BNNVARA).
Dolf Jansen
Poster design for Dutch comedian Dolf Jansen and his “Oudejaars 2024” show.
Dolf Jansen takes the stage with his signature rapid-fire comedy and sharp societal observations. In Oudejaars 2024, he dissects the rise of the “ordinary Dutch citizen,” questioning what it means to fit—or not fit—the mold. Expect biting humor, poetic reflections, and improvisation. This show is for the ordinary and the extraordinary. 80 minutes of stand-up, plus an encore you don’t want to miss.
Tis Hier Geen Hotel 3
Design for “’Tis Hier Geen Hotel 3,” a hilarious theater show about parenting teens.
Ellen Dikker, Dianne Liesker and Hanneke Drenth are back! After the success of ’Tis Hier Geen Hotel 1 and 2, it’s time for part three. Packed with humor and relatable moments, this show dives into the joys and challenges of living with teens. From the chaos of vodka martini pre-drinks to the mysteries of why laundry always lands next to the hamper, ’Tis Hier Geen Hotel 3 captures the reality of parenting hormonal housemates.
Based on the popular platform tishiergeenhotel.nl.
Kasper van der Laan
Design for Dutch comedian Kasper van der Laan and his second theater show “warm”. Kasper is is an unpredictable, absurd and hilarious performer, stand-up comedian, and writer.
