History
6 years ago a few of the core members of easylaughs took an improv course and enjoyed it so much they decided to continue. After a few months of workshops they decided to try performing and performed at the Cameleon Theater in Amsterdam (under the name Problem Solved). After a few performances, they decided to go regular and had shows once a month at the Cameleon for 2 years and began to give weekly workshops and some improv courses. They then expanded the number of players and started adding performances at the Crea Cafe. This proved so popular they moved to the Crea for every Friday night and added a late night show.Many of the players are full-time actors and theater teachers and have between them more than 25 years of improvisation experience. The cast includes: Nicole Mischler, Peter More, Jochem Meijer, Mark Giesbers, Ben Silburn, Sarah Grimmer, Kiki Hohnen, Rod Ben Zeev, Trista Mrema and Annelies van Dam. The cast is international with 3 Dutch, 2 English, 2 Americans, and one each from Australia, New Zealand and Israel.
