Comedy Café Amsterdam

The Comedy Café has been doing a decent job of bringing the art of stand-up to a wider audience. From Thursday to Saturday, there's a stand-up show in a mind-boggling blend of Dutch and English. Monday's shows vary between open-mic and theme nights (an evening of local comedy, for example). On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, comics try out new material at the venue's open-mic nights, while Sundays are reserved for the English-language improv show In Your Face!!. For those who want some grub before their laughs, there's also a restaurant for lunch and dinner; you can order a la carte or take up a dinner-and-show arrangement, thus ensuring fuller, more satisfying belly laughs.
