Biography
Arie Koomen is grafisch vormgever. Samen met Silvester Zwaneveld speelde hij bij het stand-up comedygezelschap de Comedy Explosion tot ze bedachten om samen te spelen.

Solo is Arie te zien bij het improvisatieprogramma De Lama's (2004-2006), het comedyprogramma Tequila (2006) en ook bij Doe Maar Normaal, de Nederlandse versie van 'Never mind the buzzcocks'. In 2008 speelde hij zijn eerste soloprogramma "Uit!", een oudejaarsvoorstelling gevolgd door een cabaneel voorstelling "Avondje Bergkamp" in het seizoen 2009/2010.

De Lama's is a Dutch television show made by BNN and first aired on 26 June 2004. It is an adaptation of the Channel 4 show Whose Line is it Anyway?. Patrick Lodiers hosts the show, which contains both well-known and more obscure elements of theatresports. The most important of these is improvisation. De Lama's consist of the following comedians: Ruben Nicolai, Tijl Beckand, Ruben van der Meer and Jeroen van Koningsbrugge. Jandino Asporaat, Ad-Just Bouwman, Sara Kroos, Arie Koomen, Kristel Zweers and Martijn Oosterhuis are ex-Lama's. Other than in the British and American series, every episode of De Lama's features a Guest Llama, a well-known Dutch person who offers suggestions for games and always joins the regulars for one or two games at the end. At the end of 2006, regulars Sara Kroos and Arie Koomen left the show, leaving it with only three regular performers. To help alleviate this problem, broadcaster BNN organised a televised competition, Lama Gezocht, in order to find a new performer to round out the team. Ad-Just Bouwman eventually won this competition, and joined the Llamas. He, however, is no longer part of the troupe, reportedly because his artistic style didn't fit in with the other Llamas. Another recently 'llamafied' performer, Jandino Asporaat, left at around the same time to focus on his own theatre production, although rumour has it that his style clashed with the remaining three members as well. Jeroen van Koningsbrugge is the only new member to remain with the Llamas until the end.
