Greg Shapiro: LEAVING TRUMPLAND 2.0 – No Country for Old Men
Autumn, 2024
TOUR DATES CLICK HERE
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.’ Will Kamala be President? Will America get a Vice President named Shapiro? One thing is for sure: whatever happens, Trump will say he won.
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, cabaret and Trump-inspired improvisation. 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. Leaving Trumpland 2.0 is Shapiro’s most brutally honest show yet.
