JUNE 22nd
KING ME - 250 years of Donald Trump

Dutch-American comedian Greg Shapiro presents a Tryout for his 9th solo show. In 2026, the USA celebrates 250 years of independence – by bringing back the King. With Donald Trump in power, it feels like it’s been 250 years. ‘What a perfect time for another American Revolution,’ says Shapiro.

Greg Shapiro is one of the originals at Boom Chicago theatre in Amsterdam. He has hosted Comedy Central News, and yes, he is known as the voice of Trump in the ‘Netherlands Second’ viral video with over 50 million views.

In 2024, Leaving Trumpland 2.0 got 4 stars from De Volkskrant.DE VOLKSKRANT ‘Lively... emotional... tightly constructed performance’

THEATERKRANT ‘Flawless impersonator… Extraordinarily funny… Shapiro responded (…) like a master improviser…Sharp satire of Trump’s America’ARTS TALK MAGAZINE ‘A very sharp and dangerous edge’

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.
