Robbie Wallin

Robbie Wallin is an absolute jack-of-all-trades in the creative sector. Actor, director, presenter, music composer, and theatre maker. After graduating from the Amsterdam University of the Arts, he rapidly built a versatile resume in which all of these disciplines come together.

As a director and composer, Robbie moves effortlessly between raw theatre and grand opera. He directed the performance HARD/T, took on the direction of the Youth Theater Gala 2025, and recently created the music theatre production Donnie (winner of the Silver Cricket award) for Poldertheater in collaboration with Dutch National Opera & Ballet — supported by a live band. At the end of this year, he will return to the Opera in collaboration with Right About Now for the revival of Lennox.

Robbie channels that same musical drive into his duo Josh&Robs. As an artist and producer, he creates all the music himself. The duo has performed at major festivals and music venues such as Oerol, De Parade, Tolhuistuin, and Doornroosje, made it to the quarterfinals of the Grote Prijs van Nederland, and recently released the EP Op een Beetje Geluk.

As a presenter, Robbie is the permanent face for the charities of the Postcode Lottery. In addition to his on-camera work, he is a versatile host on stages throughout the Netherlands. From the main stage at Oerol to the Dag van de Literatuur, Robbie is known for his energetic, witty, and connecting presentation style. His previous hosting credits include the Dutch Theater Gala 2024 at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam, Mensen Zeggen Dingen Late Night at Theatre Bellevue, and various programs across the country.

As an actor, Robbie regularly writes and performs in his own shows. Together with Buleshkaj, he created the production Godenzonen. Following successful summer runs at Oerol and De Parade, the performance toured all over the Netherlands, from De Kleine Komedie to the Johan Cruyff ArenA. Furthermore, he performs in productions by companies like de Toneelmakerij (Naar Ndakaaru zwemmen) and alternates between the stage and the screen, with roles in series such as Flikken Rotterdam and Medisch Centrum West.

‘Op een beetje geluk’ - Winter Parade

Is it still possible to find happiness these days? And if we weren't so focused on pursuing happiness, wouldn't we be much happier? The world spins at a certain speed, and we try to keep up. We're searching, but do we still recognize what we find?

"On a Little Luck" is a musical performance full of beats combined with live music. Josh&Robs from Amsterdam are all of it: actors, singers, rappers, musicians, and theater creators. This combination of disciplines is reflected in their work.
