Looking for a comedy night in Amsterdam? Join us at Volta on Saturday for a stand-up open mic and live-audience games.
This isn’t your average comedy show: it’s an interactive blend of stand-up comedy and outlandish host-led games. You won't just watch the action; you can volunteer to become part of it as performers from different disciplines compete in hilarious games.
Since 2019, Funny Women Amsterdam has been a home for women, trans women, and non-binary comedians. We're a platform dedicated to giving these voices space and support in comedy. We break down barriers, nurture new talent, and create opportunities that don't always exist elsewhere. Open to all who want to participate, laugh, and support.
Doors Open: 7:30 PM
Show Start: 8:00 PM
Address: Volta, Houtmankade 336, 1013 RR Amsterdam
8:00 PM Open Mic Live stand-up and open mic. You'll get a mix of experienced comedians and new voices. It's less about polished, perfect sets and more about creating space for people to try new things.
9:00 PM Break
