I amsterdam - Best Discount Laughs

Gift of the Gab
Located at the Leidseplein Theatre, Boom Chicago’s talented cast and crew are sure to have you rolling any night of the week with their daring comedy, sharp wit and quick improvisational timing. But if you’re looking for great comedy at a great price, make sure to head down to Boom Chicago Thursday or Friday night for the ‘Improv Jam’ and ‘Heineken Late Night’ and prepare to have a sore mouth afterwards from laughing so hard.

Carmen Electra, Star Reporter
Ever wondered what a news show would be like if the guests were a caveman, a raver, Carmen Elektra, and a sanitation worker? Here’s your chance to find out. Heineken Late Night takes place every Friday at Boom Chicago. Here, you can catch the entire cast and crew taking suggestions from the crowd (good suggestions are rewarded with a free bottle of Heineken, so don’t feel shy) and playing all types of hilarious ‘improv’ games. All suggestions are taken from the crowd, so the cast is counting on you to make the show interesting.  The technicians are just as quick sending images up on the screen to match the ingenious comic concoctions the cast come up with. Further, the comedians sit right with the audience, which really helps the crowd to feel a part of the act.  Best of all, instead of the usual €18 - €20 one pays per performance, tickets cost only €12. Even better, with a coupon from Boom Magazine (which can be found all over the city, including right by the bar in the theatre), you get in for a fantastic €3. Doors open at 11:00 on Fridays.

Discover Your Comic Genius
For those of you who are a little more extraverted, check out the Improv Jam on Thursdays, where you’ll witness the same unscripted comedy - the only difference is that you and your friends have the chance to get up onj stage yourselves. The host – the funny, energetic and ultra-inspiring Rachel Miller -  explains the games before hooking in brave and willing volunteers, so don’t be shy and take your shot at being in the spotlight. Tickets for this show are only €6 and admission is free with an early show ticket.

Humour: the Universal Lanuguage
You’ll find that all of the cast, crew and audience of Boom Chicago are from all walks of life and lands of far away, so the vibe is ultra United Nations. With a very mixed audience of locals, students, and tourists alike, the laughter breaks down all barriers. And feel free to chat it up with the cast after the show over a beer at the bar, they’re happy to talk. So come down and enjoy a good laugh, because there’s plenty to go around in this place!
