In 2026, on the 4th of July, the USA celebrates 250 years of independence – by bringing back the King. With Donald Trump in power, it feels like it’s been 250 years. ‘What a perfect time for another American Revolution,’ says Dutch-American comedian Greg Shapiro.
Shapiro dares to share a positive take on the USA. Perhaps Trump’s tyrant act won’t last long, especially if Europe is strong. Mark Rutte refers to Trump as ‘Daddy.’ But Ursula says, ‘Mama is boos.’ If the Epstein files prove anything, it’s that certain world leaders are attracted to anything but strong adult women.
The American Netherlander Greg Shapiro will also help you prepare for the US Midterm elections in November 2026 – if they are even allowed to happen this time. And since Shapiro is known for his Trump impression, will he be allowed back into his country of birth? Or will he be disappeared by ICE?
Shapiro presents a mix of standup and storytelling, with a bit of Trump-inspired improvisation. KING ME is Shapiro’s 9th solo show.
Reviews from LEAVING TRUMPLAND 2.0 –
DE VOLKSKRANT ‘Lively… emotional… tightly constructed performance’
THEATERKRANT ‘Sharp satire of Trump’s America’
ARTS TALK MAGAZINE ‘A very sharp and dangerous edge’
