Questions about comedy
Where can I see stand-up in English in Amsterdam?
At Boom Chicago (everything in English), on Comedy Café Amsterdam's English nights and at open mics in bars across the city.
Is Dutch cabaret ever in English?
Sometimes: a few cabaret artists play an English version of their show, such as Dolf Jansen's Shameless. They are listed here with the EN tag.
