At Amsterdam’s Boom Chicago comedy club, references to the Cleveland Browns or the Olive Garden fall flat. “You have to learn how to own a room and make references that are a little more universal and deal with concepts and themes that someone from Australia, someone from Finland, or someone from New Jersey can all relate to,” explains comedian Ike Barinholtz. “I remember in an early show, I said I was going to key someone's car. And then our director was like, ‘People don't know what keying a car is over here,’” adds comedian Josh Meyer. #comedy #amsterdam #comedyclub #amsterdam
