Boom Chicago
For 30+ years, Amsterdam’s English-language comedy institution has amazed locals, visitors, and critics alike! Boom Chicago combines quick improvisation comedy, razor-sharp writing, stand-up comedy, and songs made up on the spot. People can’t believe how funny the show is.
Boom Chicago launched the careers of many comedy superstars like Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele, Amber Ruffin, and the creators and stars of Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly). Key met Peele at Boom Chicago.
The list goes on: Heather Anne Campbell (Rick Amber Ruffin and Morty), Ike Barinholtz (The Studio, The Mindy Project), Kay Cannon (The Pitch Perfect movies, Blockers), Ally Beardsley (Dimension 20), and the writers and stars of Saturday Night Live, Breaking Bad, 30 Rock, Community, Portlandia, The Office, Veep, Arrested Development, Girls, Broad City, How I Met Your Mother, Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, The Tonight Show, Conan O’Brien, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Best of all, the next generation of comedy super- stars is on stage tonight! At Boom Chicago, guests are seated at tables and can enjoy drink service (with friendly prices) before and during the show. Afterwards, join the cast for a drink at the bar. You may never get this close to these future celebrities again!
