The 4th edition of the Amsterdam Comedy Festival starts on 27 May, bringing the best in international comedians to the Melkweg theatre.
British, Irish, Australian and American talents will test their punch lines on three stages. With one easy ticket, audience members can jump from show to show sampling their favourite showmen.
Whether you fancy a silly sing along performance, caustic sarcasm or the side-splitting laughs of impersonations, the Amsterdam Comedy Festival has it all!
Being one of Amsterdam’s most renowned hot-spots, the Melkweg is a venue that offers a great atmosphere, bar life and cosy seating. It’s located in the heart of Leidseplein meaning that after the show, the fun can go on.
The festival is on for one night only, so get a head start on your Amsterdam planning to guarantee you get the best in international laughs!
