Snip en Snap in a Dutch radio show, 1937

Snip en Snap (or, the Snip en Snap Revue) were a Dutch cabaret act, consisting of Willy Walden and Piet Muijselaar, who performed songs and skits in drag and were active from 1937 to 1977. The act was conceived by , who borrowed the concept from Solser en Hesse ("Wip en Snip"). Walden and Muijselaar first appeared as the duo in 1937, on the AVRO radio show . Initially planned as a one-time act – for Walden and Muijselaar had no interest in dressing up in women's clothing for the stage, but made an exception for radio – the show was so popular that AVRO engaged them through their agent/producer, Rene Sleeswijk, for a theater tour in which they were the main attraction; after a year the tour (known as the Sleeswijk Revue), which had become more an act showcasing the duo, gained great popularity,[1] and ran for forty years. They continued to perform on De bonte dinsdagavondtrein, which was an immensely popular program; they traveled by train to Hilversum every Tuesday where they were received by a crowd of fans and an orchestra, who accompanied them to the AVRO studio.[2]
