PEPIJN’S COMEDY CLUB IN ENGLISH IS NOW MONTHLY.
Since 2022, this recurring standup comedy night is programmed and hosted by Greg Shapiro ‘The American Netherlander’. Each standup lineup show is a carefully blended mix of diverse voices and top talent. Sometimes international comedians from Live at the Apollo on the BBC, sometimes award-winners and comedians with their own solo show.
One lineup featured a bisexual Afghan / Dutch comedian (finalist of the Dutch Camaretten Awards), an Egyptian woman who works for the EU, a Ukrainian refugee, and a former dominatrix.
Critics: “One thing that puts some people off in stand-up is the fear they will be picked on, with the comedian insulting or humiliating them. Nothing like that last night; it was a really good atmosphere and everybody had a good night out.”
Ask any comedians or cabaretiers in the Netherlands – Theater PePijn is one of the best rooms you can play. Most nights include a short ‘talent spot’ to introduce the latest arrivals to the scene.

Ria Lina (BBC LIVE AT THE APOLLO), Roger Bak (excerpts from his solo show Made in America), Karan Karathik (from his solo show Red Pill Blue Pill), and Lara Ricote (Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival).
