From Eindhoven to every stage

 

Born and raised in Eindhoven, Max found his place on stage after studying Communication and Directing at the Toneelacademie Maastricht. In 2008, he won the Audience Award at the Cameretten Festival and has since become a well-known name in theatre and on corporate stages. In addition to his work as a comedian and moderator, he regularly appears in films, series and commercials, and many know him from his successful imitations on social media (#maxvandenburg). With his broad experience both in front of and behind the camera, Max understands how behavior and communication come together and how humor makes the difference.

Sessions

With his years of experience in Dutch theatres and at corporate events, Max has made it his specialty to deliver a light-hearted closing at a wide variety of events. After a full day of content, it is essential to take a moment together to see things from a humorous perspective. That is exactly when your event needs a performance by Max, with humor as well as reflection.

Such a performance or keynote often consists of tailor-made comedy, in which Max, as an outsider, looks at everything happening within your company, organization or industry through a humorous lens. This can focus heavily on key themes, but can also be about the CEO who never tidies their desk. From purely recognizable entertainment to more substantive and insightful content. Max is a master at tailoring his performance to your preferences, and with his infectious stage energy, he knows how to engage everyone at your event. Always with something musical included.

In addition to his tailored performances, Max delivers an Inspiration Session Humor, in which he combines shared laughter with valuable insights into humor, particularly in the workplace and in customer interactions. How does humor work? When is it (not) effective and why? In a “humor check-up,” Max brings everyone up to speed in an engaging and educational way.

As a moderator, Max knows better than anyone how to guide your program smoothly, always with room for humor. With his background as a comedian and his studies in Communication, Max is a light-hearted yet verbally strong moderator who enjoys diving into and expanding on the content. Thanks to his natural curiosity, he is also a talented interviewer and moderator.
