AMSTERDAM COMEDY SHOWS

LIFE IS BETTER WHEN YOU LAUGH

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 €25. Join the fun!

Masood Boomgaard: Self – Help Singh • February 10, 2025

Self-help Singh, the alter ego of comedian Masood Boomgaard, came to life in a vision after Masood fell and hit his head while rushing to the bathroom to avoid the gut-related effects of a bad lamb vindaloo. Self-help Singh’s live show is a hilarious yet thought-provoking mix of stand-up comedy, parody and motivational speeches.

Alejandra Azcárate in Amsterdam • March 6, 2025

A través de la cercanía, la sinceridad, los argumentos contundentes y la gracia. Alejandra logra sumergirse en la intimidad de los asistentes, creando una poderosa conexión de reflexión y humor que te permitirá salir de tu rutina.

La Ruina • May 9, 2025
