History

easylaughs formed in the spring of 2005 from the highly successful group, Problem Solved which formed out of the keen followers of an improv course in 2000. Joined by other performers trained in other parts of the world, they started performing at the Cameleon Theater in Amsterdam. The show became regular and then more frequent until they established a regular show once a month at the Cameleon. Here they also taught courses and ran weekly open workshops.

The easylaughs group formed to make the shows weekly and this needed a change of venue, which is where the Crea comes in. Now they perform three shows every Saturday night at the Crea, as well as continuing to run the courses and workshops.
