Boom Chicago demands both the actors and the audience think on their feet. Information from the crowd shapes the show for a fast-paced improvisation comedy thrill ride. With music and concert lighting, the show is unexpected and exciting.
Meet at the boomBar for cocktails on the Leidseplein and then join us for dinner before the show. Most people come for a delicious meal before the show. Our chef creates ecclectic seasonal menus and our cooks make everything fresh in our kitchen, except maybe the ketchup and mayonnaise.

Boom Chicago makes Whose Line Is It Anyway look like a school drama class….Kill to get a ticket.
The Edinburgh Scotsman

Social, friendly, en vooral gezellig. Met de nadruk op dat laatste.
het Parool

De snelheid waarmee ze inspelen op het publiek maakt het haast ongeloofwaardig dat ze de scenes ter plekke verzinnen. Het kost de 'boomers' weinig moeite om de hele zaal op hun knieen te krijgen.
de Telegraaf

These Americans can take it, and they can dish it out….
The evening recalls the glory days of Chicago's Second City.
