English-language improv comedy in Amsterdam’s Jordaan. Boom Chicago runs about 2 hours, with audience interaction and music, plus drinks on site.
“If you are looking for a laugh, I would strongly recommend going to this. It is improv comedy at its finest with just a bit of audience input that makes it even funnier because you were “part of the joke”. What I most appreciated was the callbacks to previous segment topics and it felt like a running joke we were in on. I am glad we went because I was laughing all the time, even in some more difficult to improv parts and by the end of it I was laughing uncontrollably. If you have time, just go!”
Amsterdam’s VEGAS dinner show at Harbour Club Theater, with a 3-course shared menu, big stage energy, and multiple seating options.
“De show was prima. Eten daarentegen viel tegen. Michelin ster prijzen en hoeveelheid maar de kwaliteit van de All you can eat om de hoek. Wij kregen net zoveel eten met z’n vijven als de tafel naast ons waar twee personen aan zaten, heel vreemd. 2 kleine stukjes kip en een stukje vis verdelen over 5 personen en een klein schaaltje nasi. We moesten maar om meer vragen als we het op hadden. Op de vraag waarom we niet meteen wat meer konden krijgen was het antwoord dat we dan mischien wel weer teveel zouden krijgen. Rare opmerking gezien de tafel naast ons met 2 personen die in principe elk…”

See Chèri Chèri, Europes biggest drag show, at Harbour Club Theater in Amsterdam. Comedy, dance, glitter, and extra food options.
“Its a very funny and good show, but cost too much.. The ticket only grants you a table, and you also have to use almost the same amount to eat there. So in total for 2 persons we paid 350 euro in total, and we did not eat us full.”

A close-up and stage magic night in Amsterdam with 5 to 6 acts, pre-show magic, and an optional after-party, all in English.
“booked the magic stage show as a birthday treat for my companion. the show was held in a local community space which was fine except that I would have been grateful to have known about the steep stairs involved. Luckily we explained our difficulty and were given the chance to go ahead of others in the audience so we could take our time using the stairs. The whole show was a wonderful evening of magic, both close up and on stage, and was quick, funny and very professional. We would certainly come again. Miss this gem at your peril!”
BonTon Rotterdam is a 1.5 hour, high-end male dance revue in a candlelit lounge, with reserved seating and cocktails available.
“Geweldige avond gehad bij Bonton Rotterdam! Als man voelde ik me meer dan welkom. De show was energiek, stijlvol en verrassend leuk. Ontvangst en service waren top. Echt een aanrader, ook voor mannen!”
