“My partner and I had a great night at Boom Chicago! We arrived about an hour early and got to enjoy some nice drinks in their nicely decorated bar/lounge area. The atmosphere was great! As to the show itself, the comedians were really good, especially the host, who created an energetic vibe anytime he was on stage. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for an entertaining night out in Amsterdam!”
English-language Boom Chicago improv with live music in Amsterdam's Jordaan, about two hours, mobile ticket entry.
“Excellent venue and potential for a good show. However, the night we saw it we thought the comedy was hit out miss. It was like they were trying hard but often not quite hitting the mark. Might have gotten better after the intermission, but we left then and didn't see the remainder of the show.”
Amsterdam’s VEGAS dinner show at Harbour Club Theater, with live music, variety acts, and a 3-course shared menu. From $169.
“De show was prima. Eten daarentegen viel tegen. Michelin ster prijzen en hoeveelheid maar de kwaliteit van de All you can eat om de hoek. Wij kregen net zoveel eten met z’n vijven als de tafel naast ons waar twee personen aan zaten, heel vreemd. 2 kleine stukjes kip en een stukje vis verdelen over 5 personen en een klein schaaltje nasi. We moesten maar om meer vragen als we het op hadden. Op de vraag waarom we niet meteen wat meer konden krijgen was het antwoord dat we dan mischien wel weer teveel zouden krijgen. Rare opmerking gezien de tafel naast ons met 2 personen die in principe elk…”

“I had such a beautiful experience here. From the moment I arrived, everything felt special. The food was amazing, the oysters were delicious, the meat was perfectly cooked, and honestly everything I tried tasted great. The staff were incredibly kind and made me feel very welcome. Lying on a bed while dining made the experience even more unique and relaxing. The live shows and entertainment were amazing. You don’t see something like this very often. The location is beautiful and easy to reach. I will definitely come back again. I highly recommend this place!”

“supper show ülihea atmosfär, maitsev söök. kõik suurepärane. parandada võiks riietehoiu teenust, see oli kohmakas ja aeglane, kuid saadud emotsiooni nimel olen nõus tunde oma riideid ootama. üliäge”
Small-group Amsterdam red light district tour with a guide plus a classic 70s live peep show at Sex Palace.
“The guide, Kubra, was excellent! She was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I learned about the red light district, the history of the area, and the connection of prostitution to the history/culture. The tour highlighted all of the efforts they made to protect the women and normalize the work. It was fascinating, and I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn more.”

“Fantastic. All of the comedians were funny and they had material about international life and Amsterdam. A perfect mix!!”
A small Amsterdam magic show with close-up tricks, a 2-hour stage lineup of top illusionists, and an optional after party.
“booked the magic stage show as a birthday treat for my companion. the show was held in a local community space which was fine except that I would have been grateful to have known about the steep stairs involved. Luckily we explained our difficulty and were given the chance to go ahead of others in the audience so we could take our time using the stairs. The whole show was a wonderful evening of magic, both close up and on stage, and was quick, funny and very professional. We would certainly come again. Miss this gem at your peril!”
