About this event
Amsterdam’s Most Questionably Free Comedy Night – Now with 100% More Dutch Courage!
Ladies, gentlemen, and everyone who’s ever awkwardly laughed at a joke they didn’t get just to fit in—welcome to Café de Plakhoek’s Open Mic Comedy Night, where the talent ranges from "Wow, you should quit your day job!" to "Wow, you should definitely keep your day job."
Wait… Tickets Are FREE?
That’s right. Free. Like the bitterballen you’ll guiltily steal from your neighbor’s plate. Why? Because this is an open mic, baby. We’ve got professional comedians sharpening their best material, first-timers nervously sweating through their shirts, and at least one person who swears they’re funnier after three beers (spoiler: they’re not). But here’s the beauty of it—if a joke bombs, you get to laugh at the sheer audacity of someone thinking that was a good idea. And honestly, that’s its own kind of entertainment.
The Deets (Because Adults Need Schedules Too)
📍 Where? Café de Plakhoek – a gezellig Dutch brown bar that smells like history, hops, and poor life choices.
🕖 Doors at 7:00 – Show at 7:30 (or "Dutch 7:45," depending on how distracted everyone is by the bitterballen).
🗓 Every Thursday in De Pijp – because nothing says "I’m fun" like midweek comedy.
🍸 Best cocktails in town – because laughter tastes better with a side of poor decision-making.
🍟 Dutch snacks available – including the legendary bitterballen (deep-fried regret never tasted so good).
Why Should You Come?
- You’ll meet people! (Or at least awkwardly avoid eye contact with them—either way, it’s a story.)
- Underground comedy vibes – This is where the raw, unfiltered Amsterdam comedy scene thrives. No corporate sponsors, no censors, just jokes that may or may not hold up in court.
- Dutch culture + expat chaos – Learn why the Dutch *actually* love stroopwafels, and why expats actually hate bike thieves.
- The After-Party (9:30 PM – ???) – The show ends, the drinks flow, and suddenly you’re best friends with a comedian who just bombed. It’s beautiful.
Final Warning
This isn’t some polished, Netflix-special comedy night. This is live, messy, and gloriously unpredictable. You might witness a star being born. Or a star collapsing into a black hole of shame. Either way, it’s a night you won’t forget—even if you try.
So grab a drink, grab a seat (preferably not the wobbly one), and prepare to laugh with us, at us, or just because us.
See you Thursday. Or don’t. But then you’ll never know if that one guy actually pulled off his "Dutch directness" bit.
(P.S. If you’re the person trying comedy for the first (and possibly last) time… we salute you. And also, maybe write some backup jokes.)
