Toon Hermans (Sittard, 17 December 1916 – Nieuwegein, 22 April 2000) was a melancholic Dutch cabaret artist who makes audiences roar with laughter as he privately ponders the depths of human existence. Hermans is widedly regarded in the Dutch cabaret world as a consummate one-man entertainer who is a master of intelligent one-liners and humorous ballads. "Sadness has made me wealthier than pleasure," Hermans said in a 1997 interview. "Suffering is not senseless." <a href="https://www.last.fm/mus
