Warwick KayMay 4, 2015Great night out and nigh of the week. Had a bit of trouble finding the place but once inside everyone was lovely and we had a great time. Would go again next time we're in Amsterdam.
Chris CooksonJune 12, 2016Take an improv class here. This type of thing is fairly uncommon in Amsterdam and it's a blast. The €30 price tag is a bit easier to swallow if you see their improv show later on at night.
Rohan NowellApril 7, 2018Shot of Improv is good viewing for only €10 on Saturday nights. Make a suggestion for a scene and you get a free shot! 🥃 I've been to 3 shows and every time has been a blast. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Emil CMarch 27, 2013Best american comedy club outside of the US. Notable alumni include no less than SNL members Seth Meyers and Jason Sudeikis. Amazing night of english-speaking comedy in their new theater.
Jonas de GrootMarch 31, 2022Whenever you have the chance to visit the show, just go! Order your drinks during the show, enjoy!
This is one of the theatres in town to see well known comedians from abroad. Added bonus: they have Lagunitas on tap :)
Party EarthOctober 26, 2012Call or go online to book a seat in advance, or stop by the theater to see if you can get a deal. Also, if you save your ticket stub, you can go back the next night for only €5. Read more
DHR.comJanuary 12, 2012If you'd like an evening of laughs and great comedy, head over to this place. Lots of great improv, stand-up, and sketch comedies in store. Great food and drinks are also available.- drew tarvinMay 19, 2015A great place to see a comedy show in English. Late at night it turns into a disco party, which is pretty funny in and of itself.
Lisette NApril 7, 2015Great night out. Went many years ago, at their old location and I'm glad I came back. Have dinner somewhere else though and then catch the show
Jim StolzeMarch 18, 2013Boom Chicago has a new show about Dutch Sins... the 'strange quirks' about Dutch society. If you share your sin with them ... and may get a free ticket to the Sin City Comedy Event, April 23!
Steph WelFebruary 3, 2015Great place to go with international friends. A shot of improve is just hilarious!
Саша БарановOctober 4, 2012Among the things to do in Amsterdam watching Boom Chicago is a must! You gonna enjoy it 100%!
Yury DrabkinApril 11, 2013Perfect show you must enjoy! And with a Holland pass ticket you may be here for a free. Always recommend.
Christy WrightOctober 11, 2014Make sure you book in advance and get the comfy couches at the front of the stage!
Jonathan MarksSeptember 4, 2011Their Social Media show is worth going to. More improv than stand-up comedians. Reasonably priced food, though the kitchen closed in the second half of the performance.- Indivly RewardsJuly 2, 2012Head over here for some giggles.. But eat first! Sorry Boom, you might be funny but your food just isn't up to par. Their comedy shows are interactive and hilarious, a definite must in Amsterdam.
Daran KandasamyMarch 31, 2012A must visit on comedy nights. Comedy doesn't get better than this anywhere else in the Netherlands.
Jasem DashtiNovember 5, 2011Very good effort, I like the show . . !, they serve good food, in the heart of liedspline !
Kieran TurnerMay 27, 2011Make friends with the local boat club who often meet here and they may show you their antique boats ;-)
This English-language comedy company makes use of audience input, multimedia elements and improvisation, to often hilarious effect.
Nicolas JonkersFebruary 24, 2018So so. They weren't hot tonight. Some cracker jokes most slipped though.
Chris BuijsJanuary 3, 2010Love this! Go there including dinner, you won't be dissapointed. Read more
