Boom Chicago a Good Night Out in Amsterdam
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317
Boom Chicago is Amsterdam’s longest running English language comedy night out. Shows are a mixture of audience-prompted improvisations and rehearsed sketches. They are fast, political, musical and above all funny. They provide a wry look at life and poke fun at people on both sides of the Atlantic.
Boom Chicago is a two-hour English-language fun show, including a 15-minute interval. Eat, drink and laugh but remember this is not a pub but a theatre. Seating is at long tables. Show and dinner take...

Feel like something to do on a Monday night – when most other places are pretty quiet the Classic comedy & Bar is the place to be with their Raw comedy season.

Each week the show is hosted by an up and coming young pro comedian, many of whom started out on Raw comedy in previous years, with up to 10 acts on stage in a two hour show.
Tickets only...

Vegas Welcomes Bill Cosby
... and weird clothes.”
About his performances Cosby says, “I feel that in-person contact with people is the most important thing in comedy. While I’m up on stage, I can actually put myself into the audience and adjust my pace and timing to them. I can get into their heads through their ears and through their eyes. Only through this total communication can I really achieve what I’m trying to do.”
Always elegant and g-rated, Cosby joins the ranks of the legendary American humorists Charlie...

Chicago’s The Second City and “Barack Stars”
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317
At the same time as the 2009 Capital Fringe Festival, Chicago’s own The Second City brings its legendary improv comedy troupe to Washington, DC and the Woolly Mammoth Theatre.
And can the subject mater be any riper? A new President from Chicago, a corrupt Illinois Governor tossed out of office and a questionable Senate seat filled, a bid by Chicago for the 2016 summer Olympics and some typical Chicago politics makes for business as usual in the “City that Worsks Works”.
Add in some...
