De Kleine Komedie, Historic theatre on Amstel, Netherlands
De Kleine Komedie is a theater located at Amstel 56-58 in Amsterdam with around 500 seats that hosts cabaret shows, music programs, and theatrical performances. The venue features modern facilities including a listening system for visitors with hearing difficulties.
The theater was founded in 1786 as Theatre Francais dur l'Erwtemarkt and served multiple functions over time, including as a church, lecture hall, and bicycle storage facility. Its transformation into a dedicated entertainment venue reflects its long adaptation to changing urban needs.
The venue serves as a launching pad for emerging performers and awards the Zilveren Raampje distinction to recognize exceptional talent in cabaret and theater. This award has become an important marker of achievement in Dutch entertainment over the decades.
Visitors with hearing difficulties can collect a listening system from the reception desk to enhance their experience during performances. The theater is easily accessible by public transportation and sits on one of Amsterdam's most recognizable streets.
In 1988, performer Youp van 't Hek played a crucial role in saving the theater from closure due to budget cuts through his influential performances. His efforts underscored the venue's importance to the local arts community.
