Greg Shapiro Audiobook Preview – THE AMERICAN NETHERLANDER

May 17, 2022

The question was: “Would you be willing to give up your acting career in Manhattan to do comedy in Amsterdam for a start-up theater called Boom Chicago?” Since I was living on tips and paying rent via credit card, the answer was an immediate YES. When you’ve tried being broke in New Amsterdam, you might as well try being broke in Old Amsterdam.

Greg Shapiro Working with Dylan Haegens and – Roy Donders?

May 4, 2022

Dylan Haegens knew me from my onscreen work as 'an American in a suit.' The reason I liked this concept is that it’s not a straight-up commercial spot. Rather, it’s a behind-the-scenes ‘Making of’ story for a commercial spot. Clever. Well done, Dylan.

March 7, 2022

Hey Expats & Internationals! You might be able to vote in the Amsterdam City Council Elections - aka the Gemeenteraadsverkiezingen. Basically, if you’ve been living here long enough you can pronounce the term Gemeenteraadsverkiezingen, then maybe you can vote in the Gemeenteraadsverkiezingen.

Greg Shapiro New Comedy Show LISTPUSHER at Utrecht Int’l Comedy Festival

March 3, 2022

Based on my experiences as a real-live (fake) politician - I’ve created a new 30-minute show called LIST PUSHER. A friend of mine on Amsterdam city council asked me “Could you help us on our campaign to reach out to the expats and internationals?” And I said yes. The upcoming city council elections - the gemeenteraadsverkiezingen - are the one time expats and non-Dutch citizens can vote. Basically, if you’ve lived in the Netherlands long enough to pronounce the term gemeenteraadsverkiezingen, then maybe you can vote in the gemeenteraadsverkiezingen.

Hi, it’s me Greg Shapiro - the American Netherlander. I grew up in America first, and I moved to the Netherlands second. Along the way, I took the Dutch citizenship exam, and I wrote a couple books on the subject - including HOW TO BE DUTCH: the Quiz. All the questions that SHOULD be on the Dutch citizenship exam, by the American Netherlander who’s been living here 25 years.

Greg Shapiro on EditieNL “Come the Netherlands, We’ll Blow You Away”

January 12, 2022

The other day I got a phone call from Dutch RTL News, asking for an interview. “What do you think of this Washington Post article about Uitwaaien?” I checked the link, and there it was: ‘Forget hygge, it’s time for uitwaaien’ - aka ‘walking in the wind.’

Greg Shapiro New Video Series: ‘DutchNews of the Week’

December 7, 2021

“The headlines are from DutchNews.nl; the punchlines are from me.” So begins every episode of my new weekly video series ‘DutchNews of the Week.’ DutchNews.nl already has a daily newsletter and a weekly podcast. So I thought: “Why not a weekly video as well?”

Greg Shapiro Volunteers for Autistic Kids Project, Gets Killed

November 30, 2021

So then they showed me the script. They said it was inspired by me. How flattering! ...It’s about a washed up Trump joke comedian, who dies onstage and then dies in real life. Wowzers, no one does Dutch honesty quite like students on the autistic spectrum. I died laughing.
