Catalogue information
Urbanus, stage name of Urbain Joseph Servranckx (Sint-Gertrudis-Pede, June 7, 1949) is a Flemish comedian, cabaret artist, singer, guitarist, comic book author and actor. Originally he used Urbanus van Anus as the stage name. Urbanus has enjoyed great popularity and fame in Flanders and the Netherlands since 1974. Although he is best known as a comedian, his songs also became well-known and often played hits, such as Bakske vol met straw (1979), Madammen with a fur coat (1980) and Hittentit (1982). Until 2008, two films in which he played the leading role, Hector (1987) and Koko Flanel (1990) were the greatest Flemish blockbusters in the cinema. Urbanus is also a prolific screenwriter of comics, such as his own star comics Urbanus and the series De Geverniste Vernepelingskes, Plankgas en Plastronneke and Mieleke Melleke Mol.
