Amsterdam Comedy – Monday Night Laughs: Matt Castellvi September 21st

Start your week with Amsterdam's most iconic comedy show—where the jokes are fresh, the crowd is buzzing, and no two nights are ever the same.

Here's the deal: We pack De Prael with the best comedians from the Dutch scene AND heavy-hitters flying in from the US and UK circuit. Think Netflix specials, Comedy Central, BBC, Live at the Apollo—yeah, we've had them all. April Macie, Tom Rhodes, Ria Lina, Desiree Burch... the list goes on.

The Vibe: Show up early, grab a beer, meet some fellow expats, maybe make a Monday night crew. Doors open well before showtime at 8pm, so you've got time to settle in and vibe out.

The Details: 📍 De Prael, Oudezijds Armsteeg 26
🎟️ €10 + fees
💰 Flash your ticket = 10% off food & drinks all night

All shows in English. All shows unpredictable. That's the point.

Stop doom-scrolling. Get your ticket and actually laugh this Monday.

Meet your host:

MC Kendra was born into a Reagan-era hunter-gatherer society in Alaska, and started playing saxophone at age 8 inspired by the musical stylings of Lisa Simpson. After surviving the treacherous journey down the infamous Alaskan-Canadian hi-way she studied Music at the University of Oregon finally leaving the US in 2004 in search of a better life (and an affordable Master’s degree). She bought a one-way ticket to Amsterdam, never looked back and has been entertaining folks in Amsterdam ever since.
