    Great show tonight.Laughed my bottoms off. Great service (table service during the show is amazing!). Unfortunately a challenging encounter on stage/with the audience. Never seen anything like it. My only two cents are if you don’t like a show, don’t take the show hostage to make your statement. You wouldn’t stand up and make a scene during a movie either to state your opinion… well handled by the comedy cafe. Long life Free speech and comedy 🎤

    Nice moment. Nice show. Nice bar. Nice place. The comedy club offers English show for non Dutch speakers which is really cool. The price is reasonable we paid 30€ for 4 artists which around 8€ / comedian. I found this more than reasonable. 5/5, I recommend.

    I attended a few events here and while the performances were great, the overall organization left much to be desired. The event started late, which was frustrating, and there was no one to introduce the performers, so it felt a bit impersonal. Additionally, getting a drink before the show was a hassle as they didn't let us in on time. It would have been nice to have a smoother entrance and better access to refreshments. Overall, the event had potential, but the lack of organization definitely affected the overall experience.

    Sundays shows are the best ever. The Tik Tok guy will be the host! The closing German guy is beyond funny. Cool place!

    "Fantastic night at Comedy Club Cafe in Amsterdam! Hilarious lineup, cozy atmosphere, and the drinks were on point. A must-visit for a good laugh in the heart of the city."

    Very nice ambiance but the comedy show wasn’t great. Shout out to the 2nd guy - Sjoerd Scott - he was good but the rest of the acts felt underwhelming. Get ready to be spoken to if you like that sort of comedy! It wasn’t my cup of tea, but it still was a good experience!

  • 5/5 Michael M. 8 months ago on Google • 70 reviews
    Such a fun night! Great atmosphere, super funny and diverse comedians and table service with delicious cocktails. English nights multiple nights a week and cater to all. Very convenient from central station and a lovely view

  • 5/5 Nigel van H. 1 year ago on Google
    Datenight! First a stellar view over the water and then a nice comedy night for a decent price. Young crowd, nice comedians and good drinks. Comedy was in Dutch, not sure if there are English speaking comedians as well - inform at the club.

    Had a great time. Top comedy and decent drink prices, that's a tough to beat combination.

    My first time at a stand-up show, I incredibly enjoyed it, had lots of laughs. I didn’t have any food, tried cocktails and had beer, liked them. The prices are ok and the staff was really welcoming.

    Was looking forward to visiting a comedy club in Amsterdam in English and booked the tickets online. When I arrived I was informed that it had been changed from English to Dutch and I would have to get a refund. You may want to call ahead to verify before purchasing online.

    Good experience! Nice time spent for 2 hours of English stand up comedy! Good for like 4/5th dates since you don't get to "talk" too much. Drinks are decent, does the job 😆 about 10 EUR per cocktail. In city center, not too far!

  • 5/5 Marcelo Lavinas W. 1 month ago on Google • 35 reviews New
    Nice small comedy bar next to the Central Station in Amsterdam. The atmosphere is friendly, seats are comfortable, they stocked to the schedule and the line up was super funny. The ticket entrance was priced on average. The drinks inside are slightly on the high side following Amsterdam standards. I recommend!

  • 5/5 David S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We had a great time with the show. It has been a fun afternoon, the place is very cozy and the service is very nice. I will repeat for sure (Original) Nos lo hemos pasado genial con el show. Ha sido una tarde muy divertida, el local es muy acogedor y el servicio muy majo. Repetiré seguro

    David Deeble killed it man, I dont even remember anyone else's names

  • 4/5 Freek M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) pity that during a Dutch performance you choose, there is still an English comedy. (Original) jammer dat er tijdens een Nederlandse voorstelling waar je voor kiest, toch een engelse comedien staat.

  • 4/5 R V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice, definitely worth repeating. (Original) Erg leuk, zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.

    Nice place with good atmosphere and assortment of drinks

  • 5/5 Yoep S. 2 years ago on Google
    Was wonderful! Unfortunately we had to leave earlier than expected for the next set to begin, but the beer, the company, the ambiance, it was just all good! The waiting staff kept checking up on drinks, even with me sitting in the dark corner they never passed over me. Would definitely recommend for a fun night out!

  • 5/5 Danilo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome place to relax and have good laughs. The bar unfortunately does not have many options for food, but the nachos are really good! The options for drinks are better, fair amount of choices, although a bit pricey. But overall, it's all worth the price by the comedians you have during the night. It's a must visit place if you haven't been already! They have shows in English and Dutch.

  • 5/5 Summer R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place. Good comedians, friendly staff, nice drinks and beautiful place. Definitely coming back. You guys should bring Sjoerd Scott, he is super funny.

  • 5/5 Matt R. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a really enjoyable night. Great value for money, really cool bar, nice vibes with a lovely backdrop. Great selection of food and beverages. Friendly staff

  • 5/5 Ire 2 years ago on Google
    I have not been to a standup comedy show for two years! So happy everything is finally open again. Two hours show is fifteen euro. It was really fun. I’m not sure if they are professional or not, either way they are good! The drinks were also good. Will definitely come back soon.

  • 5/5 Jako k. 1 year ago on Google
    Great views, great drinks, great atmosphere. Had a open mic night and it was great. Arthur at the door is a cool dude. Have a chat with him as he knows alot about the city.

  • 4/5 Hamim A. 1 year ago on Google
    Went on Thursday and saw MC and 4 comedians over about 2 hours. Some were good, some not so good MC was funny and kept the show moving nicely. Food selection is only nachos, pringles and peanuts so eat before you come! Friendly service but did forget one item of our order.

  • 4/5 Nina T. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to an English Open Mic Comedy Night. Amazing host, funny show, loved the atmosphere of the place, beautiful view. Would go again!

  • 5/5 Romana S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 vivian o. 1 year ago on Google
    Saw some amazing English stand up. Multiple stand up comedians all with their own personalities and charm. Great bar staff that keep the drinks coming also during the show. Would recommend if you are a local, expat or a tourist.

  • 5/5 Elina H. 1 year ago on Google
    We went with my boyfriend to see the english spoken standup comedy show. The place is very cozy and the view is great. Show itself was amazing and we had so much fun. Totally gonna catch another show some time! (If you are offended easily, this might not be something for you, one guy in the crowd started to really get angry and it's not fun for the audience OR the comedian)

  • 4/5 Virginia Y. 10 months ago on Google
    Not my type of entertainment as I do not enjoy making fun by commenting on people or different nationalities and this is exactly what the show was all about, yet the location and ambience were nice as a cafe , think they should focus more on using it as a cafe and restaurant more than the comedy show . You can check it as night entertainments are very limited in Amsterdam anyway

  • 5/5 Danielius N. 8 months ago on Google
    Absolutely lovely place with convenient parking and great staff. If you want to hear some witty American humor, this place is a must go in Amsterdam.

  • 1/5 Zeynep Z. 3 months ago on Google New
    Should be called bar instead of “cafe”. Nothing proper to eat. 3 bites on the menu were peanuts, pringles and nachos. The menus were absolutely disgusting, greasy and sticky. Did not have a good “cafe” experience other than the stand up comedy, which was decent.

  • 5/5 Zaka O. 2 months ago on Google • 20 reviews New
    A gem nestled in the heart of the city, where laughter echoes through the walls and comedic talent flourishes on stage. From the moment you step through the doors, you're greeted with an atmosphere buzzing with anticipation and excitement.

    (Translated by Google) Very good atmosphere, open mic at the top with the MC doing his job perfectly. Attentive waitress and having managed to manage the room almost alone. (Original) Très bonne ambiance, open mic au top avec le MC faisant parfaitement son job. Serveuse attentionné et ayant réussi à gérer la salle presque seule.

  • 1/5 wouter van v. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Bought tickets for tonight. They are closed without information. Also nothing on the website. You can also buy tickets for tomorrow. Very bad. Very unreliable. (Original) Kaarten gekocht voor vanavond. Zonder info zijn ze dicht. Ook niks op de website. Je kunt ook nog kaarten voor morgen kopen. Zeer slecht. Zeer onbetrouwbaar.

  • 4/5 Chris van R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice cafe to come. I was on a comedy night with stand-up comedians. Covid is carefully considered. The atmosphere / furnishing must pay for that. Furthermore, 1 extra waiter would have been nice. Furthermore, a top location and nice place to visit! (Original) Leuk café om te komen. Ik was op een komedie avond met stand-up comedians. Met covid wordt zorgvuldig rekening gehouden. De sfeer/inrichting moet daar iets voor boeten. Verder was 1 extra ober fijn geweest. Verder een top locatie en leuke plek om zeker eens te bezoeken!

    Came here on the last night of our stay in Amsterdam and it was the perfect way to end our holiday! Every comedian was hilarious, good price drinks and a great atmosphere. A must do for those visiting Amsterdam!

  • 4/5 Harsh K. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a pretty cool place. Nice views around. The staff are amazing, they have on table service. The comedians themselves were mediocre, maybe I attended a lousy Monday evening.

  • 5/5 Maggie T. 4 years ago on Google
    Great show full of laughs! The performers were very funny, clever, and experienced. Fun to get to watch comedians from all over the world. The bar/venue is cool and has a beautiful view. Also, there was a big audience there on a Tuesday. I would recommend this show for any night of the week!

  • 5/5 JHP p. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place for a hilarious (international) evening full of laughter. And drinks with a beautiful view on the water site.

  • 4/5 Fábio S. 4 years ago on Google
    Right in the center of the city, but far from the noise and typical tourist center. I had so much fun and so good laughs at this place that my abs were soared after! You need to buy a ticket to see their comedy stand up comedy shows, but is worth! Also arrive on time because they have counted seats and a starting time for the show. The type of comedy I've seen is from sarcastic, dark, to the more subtle, but in general there isn't much of "Tabus" here. Bot 5 stars just because when the show ends there is a massive line of people to pay what they drink, ( and just one person - cashier) and you can expect to be like 25 min in line... Besides that, just go and have a good laugh!! 😋

  • 5/5 Kas van K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Had a wonderful evening. Laughed crazy. Atmosphere was great, if you want a nice evening, without losing too much money; here you should be!

  • 4/5 Larry L. 3 years ago on Google
    Great little venue that showcases local comedy talent. Good selection of drinks to choose from, all served by a friendly and attentive staff. MC Jakob kept the motion flowing before and between each comedian's performance. We plan on seeing another show the next time we're back in town.

👍 A cozy restaurant with a view. I liked those Avocado chips very much. Comparatively budget friendly in central Amsterdam. (More ideal for a coffee date.) They are providing white bread with steak. . . PS: Don’t forget to reserve a table and visit the restaurant.
