Boom Chicago is an international creative group based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, that writes and performs sketch and improvisational comedy at their theater on the Rozengracht.

The group performs their own shows and hosts visiting comedians at their venue on the Rozengracht. The complex with three theaters also houses Boom Chicago for Business, the Boom Chicago Academy and InterActing, their program for teenagers with autism.

Over their thirty plus year history, Boom Chicago has examined a range of subjects including privacy, the role of technology, creation of the EU, the extreme right, Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn, 9/11, social media, the gig economy, and AI.

Comedy Central News (CCN), a news show that ran on the Dutch Comedy Central TV channel, was created by Boom Chicago.

The company is owned by Saskia Maas, Andrew Moskos, and Pep Rosenfeld.
