Mad Cow Comedy presents Solos at the Shed; a series of great solo shows in the most intimate of venues! On Friday 12th June, join us for GREG SHAPIRO's tryout of his brand new show KING ME.About the Show:In 2026, on the 4th of July, 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.Greg Shapiro dares to share a positive take on the USA. Perhaps Trump’s tyrant act won’t last long, especially if Europe is strong. Mark Rutte refers to Trump as ‘Daddy.’ But Ursula says, ‘Mama is boos.’ If the Epstein files prove anything, it’s that certain world leaders are attracted to anything but strong adult women. <blockquote>In 2024, Leaving Trumpland 2.0 got 4 stars from De Volkskrant. DE VOLKSKRANT ‘Lively... emotional... tightly constructed performance’</blockquote><blockquote>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’</blockquote> Greg Shapiro appeared at Solos in the Shed in January, 2026 with his solo show Greg Shapiro Saving the Climate. As author, Greg has written books such as How to Be Dutch: the Quiz and The American Netherlander: 25 Years of Expat Tales.Practical Information:<ul><li>The show takes place at de Schuur ("the Shed") a cosy intimate theatre close to the Louis Hartlooper at Ledig, Erf, Utrecht.</li><li>Doors open: 20:00, Showtime: 20:30</li><li>Show duration: 1 hour (note there is no break)</li><li>Drinks will be available before and after the show</li><li>Space is limited, so book early to avoid disappointment</li><li>Recommended age: 16+</li></ul>
