BOOM CHICAGO SHOWS & VISITING PRODUCTIONS

EVERYTHING FUNNY

We are most proud of our mainstage shows which feature smart topical scenes, hysterical stand up and our famous improvisation comedy. There are monthly theme nights, and plenty of visiting comedians from all around the world. At Boom Chicago, there are fantastic shows almost every night, with only the occasional stinker. And damn, now the backspace button doesn’t work.

We also teach improvisation! The Boom Chicago Academy has almost 250 active students which makes an exciting Amsterdam comedy community. New Intro to Improv classes start five times a year and we offer improv taster classes almost every week for only €30. Join the fun!

Sweet Home Amsterdama

In a world full of greedy landlords, 9m2 studios, and “co-living spaces” that are just adult bunk beds, the search for a home has become the ultimate blood sport.

We turn the chaos of modern life into a fast-paced, half-sketch, half-improvised comedy show. Your suggestions shape the show, guiding our cast through life’s milestones, setbacks, and absurd detours.

And remember, there’s no place like home… even if you can’t afford the deposit.
