Comedy Walks The Hague
From ‘Haagse Harrie’ to ‘Prins Pils’. The Hague is a respectable city with plenty of medical terms in its vocabulary.
You’re in for a real laugh!
Discover The Hague with a local comedian as your guide!
Maarten Vissers takes you on a tour of The Hague. A city that has long been underappreciated and is still often regarded as a village. The story of The Hague’s origins is intertwined with that of the founding of the Netherlands. Maarten takes you to places you might recognise from Monopoly. Maarten would also like to take you to the Binnenhof, but we’re unlikely to see it open to the public in this lifetime.
If you simply can’t resist, you can have your photo taken with Haagse Harrie. And you never know – you might even bump into Mark Rutte.
Interesting historical facts, unexpected plot twists and hilarious interpretations await you!

Comedy Walk The Hague with a local guide
Your comedy guide is a proud resident of Paradijswijk (the old part of Rijswijk). You end up in Rijswijk when you try to buy a house in The Hague. That’s just how things go these days. But The Hague has been his home base for years and he knows the city like the back of his hand. With his knowledge of the city, sharp wit and talent for storytelling, your guide will turn this unique city walk into an unforgettable experience. Don’t expect a tedious list of dates and dry facts, but rather lively anecdotes and personal stories that make this tour a real experience. With Comedy Walks in The Hague, you’ll get to know the Royal City in an original and unique way!

All about the route
The route in The Hague runs right through the political heart of the Netherlands. It starts at the Spui and ends at the Plein. That’s a walk of a few hundred metres as the crow flies, but Maarten has a little detour up his sleeve.
The route takes you from the peat to the sand. From ‘Hagenezen’ to ‘Hagenaren’. From power to powerlessness. Along the way, you’ll hear both entertaining and distasteful stories about politics and the Royal Family. About a city scarred by war and a misplaced wrecking ball.
Are all those stories historically accurate? Perhaps. Are they funny? That’s for sure.

The Schaijk parade
On Saturday 20 September 2025, I went on the comedy walk in Eindhoven. A brilliant experience: fun, lots of laughs and I really enjoyed it! Definitely worth doing again.

Customer focus and service are top priorities for Laura. A lot of companies could learn a thing or two from that! So, my compliments to her
