American improv at a club in Amsterdam? To Brendan Hunt, the idea was spoken about in hushed, almost mythical tones when he first went there in the late 1990s. “‘Apparently they do improv in Amsterdam,’” recalls Hunt, a star and co-creator of “Ted Lasso.” “‘Amsterdam? You ever been there? You ever been there? No one’s ever been there…. No one would ever do it. Right?” Still, Hunt decided to take the leap. Here’s how it works: Comedians move to Amsterdam and commit to a one-year minimum. They are paid enough to make it a full-time job. Performing six shows a week means a lot of reps on stage, with little time to wallow after the inevitable rough nights. #brendanhunt #comedy #netherlands #amsterdam
