Global Dance Centre - Since 2004

In 2025, Global Dance Center will officially celebrate its 20th anniversary. To get you in the mood, the theme of this year's final show is 'Since 2004'. A reminder that we have been a place where young and old come together to dance for 2 decades. During this show, we show where it all started for us and underline our identity. The dance school where dance lovers from all backgrounds feel welcome. Join the pre-celebration!

Taranto Aleatoria - María Del Mar Suárez, La Chachi

Two women eat sunflower seeds in a park, in a doorway and in a courtyard. They share a common space, a conversation, the intimacy of silence. The cante (song) and baile (dance) suddenly erupt and transform the everyday scene into a magically intimate spectacle.

Boom Chicago

Comedy Grab Bag

This comedy show is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you'll get. Get your tickets now to be a hipster who can brag you saw it first!

Something Spicy

Five comics from the Indian sub-continent, now living in the Netherlands, come together with hot bits and spicy jokes about their lives and more. It's Dutch expat comedy with a global perspective!

Little Tiny Wet Show (Baptism) - Lara Ricote

You're born. You're in it. You're dead! Symbolically... Kind of... Don't think about it Do it right now. Right now. Stay present in this moment. Stay. Present. Purchase. A. Ticket. To a sort of surreal, partially interactive, dark show. (like silly dark! not like edgelord dark...or is edgelord actually dark silly?) Sometimes its even moving... but funny... a comedy show about what it's even like to live and what it means to care for someone if you always leave them.

PowerPints

This long-running show features comedians, thinkers, and storytellers giving you the tightest and most interesting PowerPoint presentations you've ever seen. Filled with lots of laughs for sure, and you might even learn something!

The Comedy Experiment

Watch these Amsterdam comedy scientists create laughs from their personal experiences and crazy perspectives. Comedy is one part science and one part art. The creation is magic!

Mouthy Broads

After their debut at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe, UICF Comedy Talent Award finalist Nadine Froughi and two-time Funny Women semi-finalist Emily Higginson bring their powerhouse stand-up meets character comedy show to Boom Chicago. One of them’s mouthy, one of them’s broad—and both of them are funny as f*ck.

Best of Amsterdam Improv

Celebrate the comedy richness of the Amsterdam improv scene. The local comedy community has never been this funny!

The Student Becomes The Mistress

The unshockable American comedian Carly Blair and Sally Porter, England's leading (and only) dominatrix-standup talk about dating, relationships, and sex Sex SEX! At the end, ask the uninhibited comedians for their wise and possibly dubious advice. Follow it at your own risk. At a time when norms around gender, sex, and relationships are changing fast, these ladies will help you thrive in this new world! Adults only!

International Improv Showcase

Improv comes from Chicago (like Boom Chicago), but these days there are exciting comedy scenes in great and shitty cities all over the world! The BCCF has assembled hysterical improv superstars from different countries who all share a love for comedy and a love for improvisation!

International Stand-Up Showcase

A United Nations of comedy featuring top stand-up comedians from all around the world. You will see these people soon on Netflix, and one will probably be a prime minister!

Happy Hour - Luke Kidgell

After his sold-out International ‘Cheers to that!’ tour, Luke Kidgell is back on the road with his brand-new show ‘Happy Hour!’

Hell Hour

A devilishly funny comedy program that doesn't fit into an hour. This 75-minute extravaganza features stand-up comedians getting messed with, audience interaction and improv, animation, video sketch, and live sketch all hosted by the MOST FAMOUS and PROLIFIC Hollywood STAR from the last 100 years: Herbert S. Tuttleton.

Shot of Improv XL

This is what the festival is all about! The fantastic Brendan Hunt and fantastic Rayen Panday join the Boom Chicago cast for one night only!

InterActing House Team

InterActing is Boom Chicago's program for teenagers with autism. This show features a senior group, made up of individuals who may not consider themselves natural performers or quick on their feet. But trust them, the magic they create is awesome! Come support Boom Chicago's favorite side project. Of course if you know someone with autism, bring them!
