De Lama's is a Dutch television show produced by BNN that first aired on June 26, 2004. It is an adaptation of the Channel 4 show Whose Line is it Anyway?. Patrick Lodiers hosts the show, which features both well-known and lesser-known elements of theatresports. The most significant of these is improvisation. De Lama's includes 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 former Llamas. Unlike the British and American versions, every episode of De Lama's features a Guest Llama, a well-known Dutch personality who provides suggestions for games and always participates with the regulars in one or two games at the end. At the end of 2006, regulars Sara Kroos and Arie Koomen departed from the show, leaving only three regular performers. To address this issue, the broadcaster BNN organized a televised competition, Lama Gezocht, to find a new performer to complete the team. Ad-Just Bouwman eventually won this competition and joined the Llamas. However, he is no longer part of the troupe, reportedly because his artistic style didn't align with the other Llamas. Another recently 'llamafied' performer, Jandino Asporaat, also left around the same time to focus on his own theater production, although rumors suggest that his style clashed with the remaining three members as well. Jeroen van Koningsbrugge is the only new member who stayed with the Llamas until the end.
