Leaving Trumpland 2.0

If Trump loses, we will hopefully leave Trumpland behind us for good. But what if he wins? Will Shapiro ever be able to return to his native country? Shapiro is asked again and again: 'But don't you want Trump to be president again?' His answer is the same as Mark Rutte once said in the White House: 'Haha! No!'

In 'Leaving Trumpland ', originally written During the 2020 pandemic, Shapiro blames Trump's supporters for his stepfather's death. He believes a Trump comeback is as welcome as COVID 2.0. He explains it in his most personal show yet: 'Leaving Trumpland 2.0'. 'Leaving Trumpland 2.0' is a mix of stand-up and cabaret, with a Trump-inspired improvisation at the end.

Stories do not die. Even when the storyteller falls silent, they live on in us, like echoes that keep reverberating between the high mountains. When a father stops telling them, the son must do it.

Greg Shapiro was involved in the founding of Boom Chicago in Amsterdam. He was the presenter of Comedy Central News on Comedy Central Nederland, and appeared on BNR, BNN-VARA, VPRO and the German ZDF. And yes, he is also known as the voice of Trump in the 'Netherlands Second' video of Zondag met Lubach. As an author, he wrote 'How to be Dutch: the Quiz' and 'The American Netherlander: 25 Years of Expat Tales' .

'Leaving Trumpland 2.0' is in English, with a little bit of Dutch.
