We program stand-up comedy shows each month. Experience a great evening with old and new friends, where you can enjoy the best stand-up comedians and rising stars from the Netherlands and beyond. We welcome you to enjoy great vibes and fun times with us. ComediansLa Hager This Egyptian born stand-up comedian can usually be found looking for a decent happy hour and reading the latest infectious diseases update - only in the hopes it would make her material go viral. After an entirely non lucrative career trying to save the world, she’s now going for public self-flagellation through comedy. Which is in itself a kind of humanitarian relief. Her credits include opening and closing shows for guys who have opened shows for other guys who once started out opening and closing shows for some more guys. When she's not shamelessly mocking herself through stand-up, storytelling or improv; she’s enjoying solo daytime karaoke in Tokyo, where she now lives, performs and generally looks confused. Richard Walker I’ve been living in Amsterdam so long I thought I was Dutch but then I looked at my pass-port and it turns out I’m British. Sorry. Lara Mickoki Lara has the charm of wind from a toddler’s behind, and a burp from its front. Living in Amsterdam, but hailing from Australia with Austrian parents, she is a bonafide human mongrel that has spelling and identity issues. It’s ok, she doesn’t bite, she only nibbles at your funny bone. She'll tackle mental health and anything to do with the butt - she’s a derrière connoisseur. That was hard to spell. See you on the dance floor! Juan Monetti Hi, I am Juan, an Argentinean living in Haarlem. I am a storytelling enthusiast now doing standup, I have a solid script: How I do not speak Dutch while I date my dutch teacher . Mehdi Mehdi, originally from Tunisia, relocated to Paris before ultimately settling in the Netherlands. He came for love, often threatening to leave after a long rainy day, but the allure of Dutch beer keeps him in place. Having been immersed in different cultures throughout his life, he enjoys reflecting on these experiences in his comedy. Mehdi is the type to crack jokes in the shower and laugh at his own punchlines. He figured it was time to share this with everyone else (minus the shower part!). Mehdi's comedic style has garnered a variety of reviews: “so funny,” declares his mom; “superstar” is what his wife regularly calls him; and “can do better,” suggests his best friend. Even critics can't help but muster a “Hihi” in response to his comedic performances. See you there!

Just Another Yesterday & Improvised Roy Andersson Europe’s oldest and biggest international improv theatre festival celebrates 30 years of comedy, drama, performing arts, and a whole lot more. Choose from a vast variety of unscripted performances from local and international acts! This evening: Just Another Yesterday Imagine you woke up and every day was yesterday. How would you feel? How would you react? What would you do with eternity? Just Another Yesterday, an improvised comedy and tragedy, answers these questions as it explores just how a time loop could unfold. Roy Andersson Roy Andersson, a very real auteur director from Sweden, can best be described as the love child of Wes Anderson and Werner Herzog. The guy has an award-winning movie called “A Pigeon Sat On A Bench Reflecting On Existence,” which tells you everything you need to know. Dramatiska, inspired by his oeuvre, delves into the audience’s shameful revelations in a series of tableaux, accompanied by a single tuba and a lot of uncomfortable silence. This show has an intermission. Information Source: IMPRO Amsterdam | eventbrite

Ever wonder how numbers can inspire creativity? Join this unique long-form improv workshop, where we'll explore the beauty of the Fibonacci sequence and how its patterns can shape spontaneous storytelling in a new format.

Workshop Aims: * Learn a new long-form improv format using a simple mathematical structure. * Build strong, dynamic scenes that build in tension and payoffs * Practice flexibility, listening, and collaboration in a fun and supportive environment * Challenge yourself to think about scenes in new ways No experience with maths or Fibonacci required — just come with an open mind and ready to play!

The invention of synthetic pigments in the 19th century made it possible for artists to quickly and easily create drawings in colour. This small-scale exhibition shows a selection of these drawings by artists such as Van Gogh, Redon, and Gauguin.

The recipient of this year’s ABN AMRO Art Award is the artist Selma Selman (1991). As part of the award, Selman created an exhibition titled Sleeping Guards, on view starting January 30, 2025, at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. The exhibition will showcase work in a variety of media — including performance, drawing, installation, and film — with which Selman compellingly and poetically addresses the position of women while questioning the manner in which society assigns value to labor and materials.

Dit project heeft als doel de essentie van de hedendaagse realiteit over te brengen zonder woorden, waardoor het voor elke luisteraar een unieke ervaring wordt. Vandaag de dag bevinden we ons opnieuw in een wereld vol conflicten, meningsverschillen, angsten en emoties die al eeuwenlang deel uitmaken van de muzikale geschiedenis. Het programma, getiteld Fate and DeLight, verkent de complexe innerlijke werelden van componisten zoals Beethoven, Mozart, Bartók, Elgar en Brahms. Elk stuk in het programma is zorgvuldig gekozen om het volledige spectrum van emoties te weerspiegelen die deze componisten ervoeren bij het schrijven van deze werken, gevormd door de uitdagingen en invloeden van hun tijd.

Ze begon op zesjarige leeftijd met pianospelen en studeerde vanaf 2012 aan de Kiev Children’s Music School No.35. In 2017 nam Maria deel aan het schoolprogramma voor leerlingbestuur en behaalde ze de eerste plaats in de schoolbrede competitie “Beste Leerling van het Jaar”. In datzelfde jaar werd ze toegelaten tot het Kyiv State Music Lyceum (KSML), een van de toonaangevende muzikale onderwijsinstellingen in Oekraïne (pianoafdeling), waar ze in mei 2022 op 17-jarige leeftijd met een gouden medaille afstudeerde. Op tienjarige leeftijd won ze in 2015 de derde prijs bij de Puhalski Competitie (Oekraïne) en in 2016 werd ze laureaat van de eerste prijs bij de Oekraïense pianowedstrijd “Christmas Miniatures”. In 2017 trad ze op in de Nationale Filharmonie van Oekraïne en ontving ze een beurs voor jonge Oekraïense muzikanten. In 2019 nam ze deel aan het Tsjaikovski Festival en won ze de eerste prijs. In 2021 behaalde ze de eerste prijs bij de Kamermuziekcompetitie ter ere van het 125-jarig jubileum van V. Kosenko. In datzelfde jaar bereidde ze het Eerste Pianoconcert van Prokofjev voor met het schoolorkest, dat in april 2022 zou worden uitgevoerd in de Kyiv Filharmonie. Helaas werd dit optreden verhinderd door de oorlog in Oekraïne. Door de oorlog in Oekraïne moest Maria in maart 2022 haar land ontvluchten. Op 8 maart arriveerde ze met haar ouders vanuit Kyiv in Amsterdam. Na het afronden van haar eindexamens werd ze in april toegelaten tot het Conservatorium van Amsterdam, waar ze studeerde bij Naum Grubert. Na haar aankomst in Nederland trad Maria op bij benefietconcerten voor Oekraïne in Den Haag, Amsterdam, Delden, Baarn en Oranjewoud samen met Tatiana Abayeva, Boris Fedorov en Anna Fedorova.

Join us for a fun and relaxing drawing workshop with the Japanese artist Iyamari! This isn’t your typical drawing class - it’s a chance to free your mind and explore creativity in a whole new way! Perfect for anyone who thinks they can’t draw or feels stuck with rigid ideas, this workshop makes drawing enjoyable and accessible to all. Even a simple word like ‘circle’ can spark endless creative possibilities. With prompts like “Jumping Square” or “Silent Line,” Iyamari helps you visualise words in your own unique way, opening your mind and sparking your imagination in every drawing. Beginners will discover how to draw without hesitation, while experienced participants can enjoy fresh challenges and reconnect with their creativity. After drawing, you’ll share and discuss your work in a welcoming space, exchanging ideas and inspiration with others. Organic Bancha tea from Japan (non-caffeinated) will be served to make the experience even more special. Start the year with a fresh perspective and rediscover your creative side. Don’t miss this opportunity to relax, reflect, and explore! Please note: The content will be largely the same on 5th and 9th February, but different words and orders for drawing. About the Artist: Iyamari is a Japanese contemporary artist with an active career since 2008. She has hosted solo exhibitions and directed various art projects in Tokyo and London before relocating to Amsterdam in 2019. Her work explores themes of time and perception, inspired by a near-death experience at the age of 20. One of her notable projects, the Telescore Project, is a global collaborative art initiative that creates music from tree prints, symbolising the connection between humans and nature through live performances and video art.
