GREG SHAPIRO UPCOMING COMEDY SHOWS
LEAVING TRUMPLAND 2.0 – No Country for Old Men
Dutch-American comedian Greg Shapiro (Boom Chicago, BNR, Comedy Central) presents a US Election Survival Guide. With Joe Biden out of the race, the theme of the 2024 election is again ‘No Country for Old Men.’
Greg Shapiro is known as the voice of the ‘Netherlands Second’ video from ‘Zondag Met Lubach.’ But now – if Trump wins – will Shapiro ever feel comfortable returning to the country of his birth? Shapiro keeps hearing the question: “don’t you want Trump to be president again?” His answer is the same thing Mark Rutte said to Trump in the White House: “Haha! No.”
LEAVING TRUMPLAND 2.0 is a mix of standup and storytelling, with a bit of Trump-inspired improvisation at the end. Shapiro wrote Leaving Trumpland 1.0 in 2020 – during COVID. He argues that a Trump comeback would be about as welcome as COVID 2.0.
In Shapiro’s most personal moment, he shares the details of how COVID killed his step-father, due to Trump’s fantasyland followers. Now, Shapiro is accused of lying about his step-father just to make Trump look bad (like Trump needs help). Greg is happy to peel back all the layers and share the unvarnished truth. Leaving Trumpland 2.0 is Shapiro’s most brutally honest show yet.
Leaving Trumpland 2.0 is performed in English, with some content in Dutch.
Written and Performed by: Greg Shapiro
Directed by: Michael Diederich.
