Easy Laughs comedy theater, Amsterdam
Although not as big and boisterous as Boom Chicago, Easy Laughs has carved out a niche among local expats and tuned-in tourists looking for a raw, laugh-out-loud improv, Amsterdam style. The cast includes an international mix of Dutch and English-Speaking actors who have been playing together for over three years (admittedly more for the love than money). The clash of cultures is a great way to gain insight into the Dutch “sense of humor” and culture as well as maybe have a laugh at your own.
The company performs most Friday Nights at the Crea Theater on the campus of the University of Amsterdam in the heart of the city. There are two shows each week starting at 8:30 and 10:30. No two shows are the same and the intimate theater setting makes for an unforgettable, in-your-face comedy experience. See one show for € 8 or watch both shows for just € 10. (Warning: the late show can get a little rowdy and you might even get pulled up on stage!).
As well as performing, the company also puts on workshops in English for those looking to step out into the world of improv. All of the actors are professionally trained instructors and lead 8-week courses for beginners on up to advanced master classes.
The troop is also available for corporate events and can often be seen around Amsterdam competing in festivals and generally raising a ruckus wherever they perform. See their website for details.
