Kommil Foo is a Flemish cabaret duo, existing of two brothers Raf (b. 2 October 1965) and Mich Walschaerts (b. 10 March 1969). [1]
In 1987, the duo gave their first performance in a Ghent student club. They performed their first real show Ballade in 1988. Between 1988 and 1992, the brothers wrote three musical theatre programs.
In late 1992, the duo's fourth program Plank was awarded in Rotterdam. The jury spoke of a "perfect duo with a great future". Plank marked the duo's breakthrough and was performed over 250 times in Flanders and the Netherlands. [2]
TV presenter Mark Uytterhoeven saw one of their shows, and invited them weekly in his television show Morgen Maandag in 1993. From then, the duo became known to the big audience in Flanders.
In 1998, they performed their anniversary show 10 years of Kommil Foo: the very best with an extended orchestra, and in 2002 the 15-year anniversary was celebrated at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp. In 2004, the duo was the central guest at Nekka-Nacht. Meanwhile, they continue to tour successfully in Flemish and Dutch theatres. [3]
Both men also work separately on other cabaret, theatre, and children's theatre productions. [4]
