Boom Chicago shows are unique in the world. No one else combines stand-up comedy with quick improvisation inspired by audience ideas, and sharp written scenes mixed with funny songs. And at such a high caliber!
Our unique concept of an artistic director leading a creative comedy ensemble including an improvising musician and technician has led to our groundbreaking comedy over our thirty years history for more than a million people. Come discover what locals already know.
Boom Chicago is not just a venue where stand up comedians play. Boom Chicago is a community of full-time comedians and the comedy fans who love them. Our very talented writer-performers create, hone and make people laugh before they go on to even bigger things all oer the world.
Indeed more than a hundred writers and performers who work in television, film and on Broadway were discovered or began at Boom Chicago. Jordan Peele, Seth Meyers, Amber Ruffin, and the creators and stars of Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt and Joe Kelly) are only the beginning of this famous list. Best of all, the next generation of superstar comedians is on stage tonight!
Time is too precious for medium quality entertainment. Instead of heading to an open mic night or the kind of stand up comedy bill you can find in every city, see something better, funnier and more special. Life (and your visit to Amsterdam) is too short!
We do shows Wednesday through Sunday and you are seated at tables where you are welcome (or some would say encouraged) to drink. Our full bar is open before, during and after the show.
Boom Chicago is one of the best nights out in Amsterdam!
