About Boom Chicago
It’s Funny How It All Started…
Twenty five years ago, Americans Pep Rosenfeld and Andrew Moskos graduated from university and were traveling in Europe. They immediately fell in love with Amsterdam and had what they claim is “the best stoner idea ever”: quit their jobs in the U.S. and move permanently to Amsterdam to start a comedy show.
They wrote the Amsterdam Board of Tourism for some advice, and the VVV wrote back very quickly: “Your idea will not work.” The letter went on: “Dutch People do not want to see a show in English. Tourists do not want to see a show at all. You will need subsidy to do theater in the Netherlands. You will not get any subsidy.” (They were actually right about that one.) Their final advice? “Think twice about your plans.” But Andrew and Pep were not dissuaded and came anyway. Joined by Saskia Maas, who had been an exchange student in the U.S. and connected with them there, they started at the small theater Iboya, just around the corner from the Leidseplein.
Boom Chicago introduced improvisation theater to the Netherlands and has grown into the influential and innovative international theater company it is today.

β β β β β Nice "small" theater that has a variety of acts and shows. I was there for a show from an awesome multinational and multicultural group called GOSH. Burlesque meets drag meets fun meets a great show. Well produced well executed. And boom Chicago was the best venue for it. Bar with drinks, tables and chairs and a few couches instead of the classic style of theaters with just chairs in a row. A must go to place when there's a show

β β β β β Went with a friend at 15.30 on Thurs. Dec. 2 to enjoy Christmas cocktails at the themed Christmas bar Iβve seen advertised online. Front doors were locked.. finally after waving to get an employees attention, a young man greeted us at the door, seeming confused as to why we were there. We asked if they were open and he replied βyes but we keep the door locked so randoms off the street donβt walk inβ Okay?β¦ We asked if we could come in and he advised we come back Saturday when itβs more busy. Well, we arenβt available Saturday, we are here now. But thanks for the hospitality.. so we left. This whole conversation happened at the door with us standing outside and him standing inside. I understand it was a slow day and we would be the only guests there but come on guys, was just ridiculous all around. Youβre open, so open!

β β β β β Attended the sitcom show. Perfect for us 90s kids. There were some hits and misses but overall the show was funny and nostalgic. I wish I could see on the website where I'd be seating before buying the ticket but that's a minute detail. Also the location is great, it's next to a great fish restaurant and nightclub so you can have a full night out within a 2 metres radius :-)

β β β β β Great place for small events. We had organized stand-up comedy event with Zakir Khan and it was fun. Food options should be added but rest its all good. Crew is very cooperative and helpful. Back stage has great space for green room and other basic facilities.
