Maassen won two of the biggest comedy contests in the Netherlands in 1990, the Groninger Studenten Cabaret Festival(GSCF), and Cameretten. The GSCF jury was not pleased with the quality of the contestants that year, and gave Maassen the first prize, remarking he was the best of the year, but still not very good. In the following years, however, Maassen fame grew steadily, especially amongst students. Maassens style was based on stand-up comedy: Alone on stage, telling jokes and stories to amuse the public, without any musical support (a thing common for most Dutch comedians up to that point).

Grover, gewaagder en vooral grappiger dan ooit. Geen enkel onderwerp is veilig. Lichtgeraakte mensen wezen gewaarschuwd: Alex Agnew balanceert altijd op het randje. Wie de Alex Agnew verwacht die geluidjes maakt, zal verrast zijn. Agnew speelt meer in op het publiek, brengt vaak meer doordachte humor en beperkt de human jukebox tot het minimum.Alex Agnew heeft één van de belangrijkste eigenschappen van een goede stand-up: charisma. Die sympathieke uitstraling in combinatie met zijn geniaal materiaal drijft het publiek keer op keer en in een razend snel tempo naar opeenvolgende lachsalvo's die pas stoppen als hij met een buiging het podium verlaat, wat gepaard gaat met een daverend applaus.
