Kuriakose has also appeared on Comedy Central India's Sterling Reserve Comedy Project in 2019 and is a regular feature at comedy festivals in the Netherlands.


Elena Popa

'Mine are clean jokes, I don't swear or talk about sex (on purpose). I like to talk about my own experiences and how I see things, so I would describe it as an observational sort of storytell-ing. Elena Popa is the winner of the December edition of TUNA! The Tiny Underground New-bie Award was well deserved, winning the jury vote and coming in second with the audience vote.


Winnie Hänschen

Winnie is a stand-up comedian from the Netherlands. She's worked in theatre for over a dec-ade as a playwright and performer and has a solo under her belt. She performs and writes in Dutch and English, used the many lockdowns to write a book and has a comedy podcast in the making, but very happy to get back out on stage now we can!


Enikő Varga

Eniko is an Amsterdam based comedian, originally coming from the world of improvi-sation. In her standup she is trying to understand the world, asking questions which are not being asked often enough in her view.

Amsterdam Comedy Club: Berlage Comedy Year-End Celebration!

Hello Expats!

Join us for a festive Sinterklaas celebration 🎁! We've hosted successful events in the past and can't wait to gather together once again for this special occasion. Let's keep the tradition alive!

Here's the deal: each guest brings a small pressie worth at least 2€ - anything goes, from a choccy letter to a keychain to an old book to a bracelet to socks... Just make sure it's wrapped up nicely 😜( No gift, no lift) 

Upon arrival, you'll spot a large box to drop off your gift and snag a new one from a fellow attendee. Be imaginative, comical, and a tad zany - because this is all just a playful game!

When we first planned this event, we were concerned about coordinating a gift exchange among so many people. However, nearly everyone participated and it was a huge success! So we're relying on your support to make it happen again!

Abracadabra AIC! It’s Amsterdam Magic Showtime!

We would like to introduce you the Amsterdam Magic Show!  
We met this magic team when their concept was still an embryo. They started hosting their events and since then we were thrilled to promote their events.

MAGIC: For some it’s just a word…for us it’s a way of life.

Take your friends, your loved ones, or yourself on our magical ride and forget the world outside (for one crazy night). We are an ensemble of magicians and illusionists from all across Europe. But each show is different and unique since we invite the best inter-national and comedy acts to perform with us in our theater. So step into our magical world of ‘Huh’ and have an unforgettable evening of entertainment.

So here we are again with a perfect recipe:  
The base is magic, then take a bit of AIC, add a pinch of international show, two spoons of laugh, and a last flavor of Amsterdam. Stir constantly for two hours… abracadabra…


AMSTERDAM MAGIC SHOW!

Regular ticket costs 25€ if purchase online or €30 at the door. If you buy the ticket via AIC website you will get a 10% discount or even 20% if you own an AIC card. Click here to get the 20% discount ticket: https://nicexpat.nl/pages/magic-show-20-discount-ticket


Click on the "buy ticket" button below and select the ticket you prefer. Just before the check-out, you will see an option to select to benefit 10% discount on your purchase!
