Donald Trump!
Here’s the perfect opportunity to come and see the comedy show this Saturday, January 24th, at the Haja Saudade restaurant, headlined by GREG SHAPIRO .nl , the American-Netherlander comedian famous from Boom Chicago and Zondag met Lubach.

Laughter Pangs Comedy Night, tickets available on Eventbrite.

Greg Shapiro fears America with Trump: “My wife doesn’t even dare to travel to the US anymore.”
These are golden times for comedians who have Donald Trump in their repertoire. In the Netherlands, GREG SHAPIRO is his best-known impersonator. How does the Dutch-American view the president’s first year in the White House? Have you become more cautious, for example? “To Americans who want to settle in the Netherlands, I say: crowded is crowded.”

“A very friendly host who shows genuine passion for his work. Serves excellent wines and traditional food.

With wonderful live fado music.

In short, we had a fantastic evening.

I saved the surprise for my partner, who was truly pleasantly surprised.

A small space with a welcoming and very cozy atmosphere.”
