GREG SHAPIRO SAVES THE CLIMATE IN HAARLEM

The Haarlem Comedy Factory & DeDAKKAS invite you to the newest show of Greg Shapiro, known as the voice of the ‘Netherlands Second’ video and host on ‘Comedy Central News’ on ComedyCentralNL, and he has appeared on BNN-VARA, VPRO & ZDF.

In the Netherlands alone, there are solar-powered cars, wind-powered trains, garbage-powered trucks – and homes heated by cow poop (warning: contents are not vegan). Comedian Greg Shapiro shares an hour of uplifting environmental game-changers and asks “Why aren’t we ALL doing this?”

Maybe it’s because the Netherlands is addicted to modesty. The Netherlands doesn’t get nearly enough credit for their innovations – because that’s exactly how they like it. The entire country is allergic to anything resembling bragging. Scheppen, goed. Opscheppen, niet goed.

Netherlands, you need a sidekick. You need a wing man. You need a cheerleader! Enter The American Netherlander: Greg is Dutch enough to be proud of the Netherlands; but American enough to be way too loud about it.

“Yes 90% of climate news is bad. But if you ignore the 10% that’s good, you’ll go 100% crazy.”
