Comedy Shows in Amsterdam

Everyone needs a good laugh every once in a while, especially if you’re trying to brave the cold Amsterdam winters. That’s where Amsterdam comedy shows come in. With a variety of English language and local spots, there’s always a side-splitting stand-up show waiting to make your day.

Comedy shows can obviously take on many different forms. There’s black or blue comedy which touches on darker issues from drugs, war, and terrorism to racism, sexism, and bigotry. There’s improvisational comedy, where the comics make things up as they go along. There’s prop comedy where the comedian uses, you guessed it, props to make you laugh. And the list goes on.

Comedy shows in Amsterdam range from insult comedy to physical comedy and everything in between. One of the best places to see a comedy show is at Boom Chicago. Boom is a comedy dinner theater where half the show is improvised and all of it is hilarious.

There are other comedy clubs like Comedy Café and English speaking troupes like easylaughs who perform at the CREA Café. But no matter where you go to see comedy, it’s a guarantee you’ll be busting your gut from start to finish.
