Whether you need an MC, a speaker or something in between, he’s got you covered.

Derek performs comedy, gives talks, hosts events & awards ceremonies, and facilitates workshops. He’s collaborated with organizations including YouTube, TikTok, The Next Web, Uber, Just Eat, the Universities of Amsterdam and Utrecht and De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek. Every engagement is shaped around your organization: the people, the culture and the specific kind of messaging you want Derek to bring into the room.

Derek has performed live for tens of thousands of people across Europe and beyond. He's built a career on reading a room and getting groups to connect over shared culture. He's also spent 10+ years working in the corporate world, with a background in marketing and creative strategy. That experience means he understands what organizations need: not just onstage, but in the everyday.

No generic keynotes, no motivational filler. Derek's engagements are designed to be specific to your organization’s culture. Derek and his team work to get to the bottom of what makes your people tick. The goal is always the same: get people laughing together, and leave them feeling a little more connected than when they walked in.

The Double Dutch team works closely with you from reach-out to day-of. That means getting into the nitty-gritty: your audience, your goals, your ideal format. Then we build from there. Whether you need something intimate or large-scale, local or international, we'll put together a proposal that makes sense for you.

Drop us a line below and we'll take it from there. We'll start with a conversation, then put together a proposal tailored to your needs and timeline.

Yes, Derek tours regularly across Europe and beyond. Wherever you are, we're happy to discuss travel and logistics as part of your booking.

Pricing depends on the scope, format and location of your event. Following an initial conversation, the Double Dutch team will provide a tailored quote.

We recommend getting in touch as early as possible as Derek's schedule fills up quickly, particularly around touring periods. That said, if you have a more immediate need, feel free to reach out and we'll do our best to make it work.
