Advantages: Funny, great night out, good food. Disadvantages: None.
...offer, many friends had recommended Boom Chigao so we thought we would give it a go.
Boom Chicago is a comedy club essentialy, on Leidesplain, which is in the heart of the nightlife and restaurant area, quite near to other attractions such as the Alto Jazz cafe. Very easy to get to by tram, or by foot. Entry is 24 Euro on it's own, or for 36 Euro you get entry plus a meal, though there are some supplements for the more expensive dishes such as Sea ... ...from walnuts.
I digress. Boom Chicago 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.

This is great as it means that you can visit again without seeing the same material over and ... ...only non-funny part was the Boom Chicago News segment, mostly about George Bush, which went down like the proverbial balloon.
VERDICT:
I thought that this was well worth a visit. It meant that we had our entertainment, food and drink all in one place, which was very convenient. It was very, very funny. ...

Boom Chicago, as the name suggests, originally hail from the good ol’ US of A. A bunch of their performers turned up in Amsterdam nine years ago and never went home. They are among the premier comedy improvisation groups in the world. For those of you who aren’t sure what improvisation is, just think of "Whose Line is it Anyway?" and for those of you who have never seen WLIIA, it’s stuff which is made up on the spot, without the ... ...members were presenting "Best of Boom 2002", which was a mixture of scripted sketches and improvised games. The sketches included a group of American tourists risking life and limb to cross the tram tracks (believe me, I can empathise!), an interview with a member of a boy band called "Connect Five", a stupid teenager stopped at the airport for smuggling dope and a musical number about Shoarma (the ubiquitous Egyptian equivalent of a kebab). The ...
