Biography

Verveer was born and raised in Paramaribo, Suriname. In 1995, he came into contact with stand-up comedy and participated in a talent show.[1]

In 1999, Verveer moved to the Netherlands and joined Raoul Heertje's comedy company "Comedytrain" that same year. In 2003, he performed his first full-length theater program, named Eigen vermogen ("Equity"), a title with a double meaning and a nod to Verveer's background in the financial sector.[2]
