We started at Boom Chicago, a comedy club on Leidseplein run by exiled Americans. It is very crowded, very smokey and very funny. They don&#8217;t shy away from controversial topics and insult everyone in equal measure. The evening&#8217;s skits included Osama bin Laden taping a video for a dating service, a conversation between a religious Jew and a Palestinian suicide bomber, and a somewhat modified dialogue between Jesus and his disciples during the Last Supper. Audience participation is sometimes required, so it is best to keep oneself well-oiled:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/6alt2.jpg\" alt=\"2200bw\" \/><br \/>\n<em>(Canon 1D Mark II, 35mm L Canon, ISO 1600)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Among our group was this lovely lady who is recovering from cancer treatment.

This is the kind of behaviour that deeply embarasses our children (my own contribution, besides taking this picture, was a beautiful and loud rendition of <em>Whisky in the Jar<\/em> and <em>The Leaving of Liverpool<\/em>):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/6alt4.jpg\" alt=\"2206\" \/><br \/>\n<em>(Canon 1D Mark II, 35mm L Canon, ISO 1600)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The whisky bar was a revelation.
