GREG SHAPIRO’S WEIRDEST GIGS EVER – Podcast Interview

June 27, 2022
When I was asked to talk about my ‘weirdest gigs ever’ for the ELEKTRA Podcast, I said YES. I talked about performing for a Dutch bachelorette party in the mid-90’s, when they chanted something to me during the show. It was months later when I realized “Broek uit! Broek uit! Broek uit, op je rug!” meant “Pants off! Pants off! Pants off, on your back!” Yes, Dutch women are very direct.

Greg Shapiro Hosts CitizenM TV Episode 2

June 20, 2022
I must admit: when I’d hosted the first CitizenM TV, I’d never stayed at a CitizenM hotel before. For Season 2, I did my homework. I got to do an overnight ‘staycation' at the Amsterdam Amstel location. The concept for Season 2 was to show me warming up before the show - IN a CitizenM hotel room. Hence - WARNING: CONTAINS SOME MALE NUDITY.

Now that we’re all ‘Post-Covid,’ who knew The New Normal would still include Working from Home?

English Language Amsterdam Election Debate – Hosted by Greg Shapiro

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.

Remote Meetings Are Dead – Long Live Hybrid Meetings! Greg Shapiro

Remote Meetings Are Dead; Long Live Hybrid Meetings!
March 7, 2022
In February I was called upon to do two separate events for Janssen Pharmaceuticals in Belgium - both remote meetings. Now that Covid restrictions are lifting in the Netherlands and Belgium, you might expect a return to 100% live events ! And you’d be wrong. Looks like hybrid meetings are the New Normal.

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.

Greg Shapiro Presents: HOW TO BE DUTCH – THE QUIZ SHOW

February 7, 2022
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 Hosts Second ‘CitizenM TV Show’

January 19, 2022
PRO-TIP: Your Livestream doesn’t need to be Live! Again, we had 3 days of production, with plenty of time for me to meet the C-level execs and get to know everyone - and get the best out of everyone. 

Greg Shapiro Mini Standup Special ‘LEAVING TRUMPLAND’ 

January 4, 2022
I wrote a comedy show about America during Trump and during Covid. It’s called LEAVING TRUMPLAND. And it’s partly about how Trump and Covidiots killed my stepfather. Most of my performance dates were cancelled due to Covid. But thankfully, a Dutch performance series asked me to perform part of my show for them, at the ITA International Theater Amsterdam. And here it is: GREG SHAPIRO’S LEAVING TRUMPLAND on ‘Cultuurexplosie Live.’
