Amsterdam Comedy Night – Monday Night Laughs
Because Mondays don't have to suck
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.
