Join Boom Chicago and us at ABC Amsterdam for the book launch of The 30 Most Important Years in Dutch history!
It was 30 years ago when Boom Chicago introduced improvisation comedy to a mainstream Dutch audience. Since then, the successful comedy ensemble has made more than a million people laugh while continuing to innovate in and out of their theater. Alumni of Boom Chicago became some of the biggest names in American comedy. Read a bit more about Boom Chicago's story in this New York Times article!
Special guest Brendan Hunt and authors Andrew Moskos, Saskia Maas and Pep Rosenfeld will share some hilarious stories from the book. Afterwards they will sign your copy with a personal note.
About the book:
The 30 Most Important Years in Dutch history features interviews with Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele, Amber Ruffin, Jason Sudeikis, Ike Barinholtz, Greg Shapiro, Kay Cannon, and many more; and a sixteen-page, full-color insert with both behind-the-scenes snapshots and images from live performances. It is Boom Chicago’s take on life in the Netherlands over the past quarter century. It’s for fans of comedy, fans of Amsterdam and for Dutch people who aren’t afraid to see what people really think of them.

Pep Rosenfeld is co-founder of Boom Chicago, an event host, writer, stand-up comedian, public speaker, coach, and developer of corporate programs. He was nominated for an Emmy for his writing on Saturday Night Live.
