Sara is an dutch comedian and singer.
Kroos is an only child and spent most of her life in the polder. From her fifth to twelfth, however, she lived in the wooded area of Nijmegen.
During her secondary school years Kroos lived in Groot-Ammers in the Alblasserwaard. She did the HAVO at the school community Willem de Zwijger in Schoonhoven. In Schoonhoven she came into contact with theater through the Arto Theater. In 1995 she won the first prize with her adaptation of Hamlet named Prozac. She directed this piece herself. It was also around this time that she came out of the closet. This was very sensitive to the predominantly orthodox Christian community and her family.
After her secondary school, she moved to Utrecht and started a writing course at the University of the Arts. However, she stopped after three months. Then she worked for a year as a telephone saleswoman at the Disney children's book club. In this period she also did a suicide attempt, an experience that she later incorporated into her shows. In 2003 she had a daughter with her former girlfriend.
At the age of eighteen she participated in the Leids Cabaret Festival and won the audience award. Partly because of this, she came under contract from the Harry Kies impresario. Under the direction of Jessica Borst and Adelheid Roosen's coaching, she expanded her program from half an hour, as she did in Leiden, to the full-length program Hunger with which she premiered in 2001.
In 2003, two years after Hunger, her second show, Lam, was in the theaters. In 2004 Kroos started her TV career at De Lama's. This lasted until 2006.
In 2005 her third show, Zoetgevoois, started. For the first time she was no longer on stage alone, but she was accompanied by two musicians, Martijn Breebaart on piano and Bas Mulder on guitar. Also this show - which went into revival until April 2007 - was successful, and in 2006 she was awarded the VSCD Cabaret prize Neerlands Hoop.
From 2007 Kroos writes columns for Viva. From September 2010 to March 2, 2014 she presented Sara on Sunday on radio 2.
