Humans & Friends - a show of improvised music

ASTIRoids

Freshly arrived in Amsterdam, ChebManu's mind got blown away by an improvised rapping show at Boom Chicago. Many years later he would start improv theater himself and take his first improvised rap workshops from North Coast NYC. Wanting to learn and practice these skills further, but having more fun with other players, he founded the Amsterdam School of Theatrically Improvised Rappers (ASTIR) and started organizing regular jam sessions. He started first in his own living room with RavyOllie and DrMishMash, but eventually the group started growing bigger and bigger and they needed to practice at Q-Factory or CREA. They went several times on stage thanks to TagOutTheater, but also at CREA or Boom Chicago comedy festival. They now count more than 15 members, including a drummer, a beatboxer and a beatmaker.

Jam With Humans Orchestra

We like making music that will keep you on the edge of your seat. That's not boring. That will bring you along on a journey. And that will make you feel things, from laughing off your seat to being glued to it while being carried in introspective thoughts.

This is a pay-what-you-want show, which means that we'll ask for a voluntary contribution at the end.

It's also a non-ticketed show, which means that the audience will be let into the room for as long as there are available seats - first come, first served.

It's also a family-friendly show, so bring your family, friends, enemies and pets of the goldfish variety.
