Newest Review: ... is run by an American/Canadian/Dutch comedy/acting/singing collective which set up shop in 1993. The shows are performed in English, and the performers make quite a joke of the fact that they are American, performing in English, in Amsterdam, and make a few Dutch jokes too. The show: The show we saw was 'Me, my space' and ipod' which was a kind of parody of modern life and had various ... more

... 'acts' which were very different, and all very funny. There was an interesting take on what people might be listening to on their ipods and how that influences their interactions with others. Then there was a kind of 'who's line is it anyway', but the two...more

As my wife and I spent xmas in a very cold Amsterdam we wanted to visit as many places as we could, to sample the varied nightlife that Amsterdam has to offer, many friends had recommended Boom Chigao so we thought we would give it a go.

We had been recommended Boom Chicago by a friend-of-a-friend at the beginning of our trip, but by the time we hit Amsterdam, we were tired and pretty much out of cash. In an inspired last burst of energy, however, we made the decision to give it a go: and what a piece of luck that we did. Boom Chicago is sensational. It is in every way what you desire in order to have a great evening; it is exactly what you need if you feel tired or jaded in any way. I would go as far to say that it is an ...
