October 23 at 8pm +1
Theater Bellevue · Amsterdam-Centrum • 20 €
Part comedy, part group therapy, all Marja: the Rotterdam stage legend turns the audience into co-stars for an evening of absurd scenes, poetry, and music about hope. Expect to laugh, maybe tear up, and definitely get involved.
October 25 at 8pm (This weekend)
De Nieuwe Anita · Amsterdam-West • $15
Step into a cozy living-room bar and let strangers seduce you with true, unfiltered tales of lust and adventure. Smut Slam is a welcoming open mic where anyone can share a story or simply listen and blush.
October 27 at 8pm
Theater Bellevue · Amsterdam-Centrum
Part comedy, part jazz bar, all glamour: Gavin Reijnders turns Theater Bellevue into a swanky lounge for an evening of self-mockery and music "somewhere between Hannah Montana and Chet Baker." His second cabaret show is an ode to nuance in a loud world.
October 29 at 7:30pm +10
Lellebel: Queer Bar · Amsterdam-Centrum • 8 €
Amsterdam's only alternative gay comedy night brings stand-up, games, and gloriously unhinged acts to a safe, electric queer bar. Expect seasoned performers, sharp wit, and a whole lot of chaos.
October 29 at 7pm
Theater Bellevue · Amsterdam-Centrum
Nothing to see here, everything under control: that's exactly the lie Joosen en de Jager sell you. The Leids Cabaret Festival finalists barrel through a breakneck show of physical comedy, music, and gloriously absurd chaos.
October 29 at 8pm
Splendor Amsterdam · Amsterdam-Centrum
Splendor transforms into a Northern Italian mountain inn for one night: tales of love, ghosts, and strange encounters from Valtellina and Lake Como, threaded with Scarlatti and Strozzi, a glass in hand.
Browse Amsterdam neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
