Dutch-American comedian Greg Shapiro (Boom Chicago, Zondag met Lubach) takes you through Trumpland with sharp satire and improvisation.
About this Event

How do you leave Trumpland when Trumpland won't leave you?

Greg Shapiro knows the answer. Or at least, he's working on it.

The Dutch-American comedian – you've seen him on Boom Chicago stages, Comedy Central specials, and in those viral Zondag met Lubach videos – has made a career out of translating American chaos for European audiences. Now he's turning that lens on Trump, politics, and the question everyone keeps asking: how did we end up here?

'Leaving Trumpland' isn't your typical political rant. It's sharper than that. Greg mixes stand-up with cabaret and Trump-inspired improv, creating something that feels less like a comedy show and more like a guided escape route. He's funny, yes – but he's also smart enough to know that humor is sometimes the only way to process the absurd.

This is comedy for people who are tired of being angry. Who want to laugh at the mess without pretending it's not a mess. Who need someone to articulate the ridiculousness in a way that makes you feel less alone in your frustration.

The setup:

20 minutes of sharp political comedy in our 24-seat theatre downstairs. Doors at 18:00. Come early for drinks at the foodbar, stay late to debrief with strangers who just watched the same thing you did.

Four-course dinner? Add it for €37.50 per person when booking.

Essentials:

English | 20 min | 24 seats | Doors 18:00

Seats go fast. Book ahead.
