Boom Chicago Show in Amsterdam

Boom Chicago Comedy Shows: High tech, razor-sharp comedy shows and fantastic food. This successful combination has made them an Amsterdam institution for fifteen years.

Get ready to laugh!  The shows are a fast paced and exciting mix of sketches and improvisation. The written scenes lampoon current events and universal topics.  For the improv, the actors get suggestions from the audience and turn them into scenes and jokes that are topical, funny and different every night.

Working with the actors is a live-musician and a high-tech technician who seamlessly adds lights, sound, video and the internet.  The show is truly unique in the world.

Boom Chicago’s post-fusion international cuisine is created by Head Chef J.J. Holland.  Rather than mixing influences, Holland keeps the East and West separate and balances each dish individually in a fresh and original way.

This climate change comedy is full of hot-air from environ-mentally retarded comedians. Not your typical eco warriors, Boom Chicago are nonetheless worried about the Netherlands, their little Atlantis of the future. In the debate about green issues, they also ask the right questions: Is it rape if the tree doesn't want to be hugged? Who left the ozone open? And can they charge more if they use recycled jokes?

Late Nite
Unique, Raw and Scriptless
Once a week, the entire Boom Chicago cast and tech crew perform together, resulting in a completely improvised party! The energy at a LN show is unlike any other Boom show. When there are no scripts, anything can happen….and it usually does.

This two-hour experience is relaxed and exciting. The actors take a seat right in the audience and every single scene is improvised on the spot based on audience suggestions.
