What we’re about
Based in Amsterdam, we are the largest and coolest international community in the Netherlands. We’re a social club for Amsterdam expats with an international membership that includes both recently relocated expats and long-term residents. Our doors are open to everyone. Whether you are an expat, a Dutch who's internationally oriented, or simply a traveller passing through, you're all welcome to join our growing multicultural family.
On a weekly basis, we host a range of networking and social events at various locations in the city, where expats and locals can gather to meet interesting people, create valuable connections and foster new friendships. Our events are always conducted in a friendly and welcoming environment.
We meet up regularly to: drink & mingle at various Amsterdam hotspots, explore the city's good food with social dining, watch comedy shows and plays, go clubbing and dancing, watch and play games and sports, go on special trips and rides... and other authentic Amsterdam experiences.

‘Finally the British have exported something good to the rest of the world. Adam Fields is the shit!’ – Russell Peters (Canadian comedian)

He did a great job opening for me’ – Marc Maron (US comedian)Katharyn Henson (US) began doing stand up comedy in New York City where she worked her way to regularly hosting and performing nightly at comedy clubs, backyards, and basements throughout the five boroughs. Most recently based in London, Katharyn MC's and performs regularly at several of the top clubs throughout the city. Outside of stand up, Katharyn co-hosts the podcast "This American Irish Life" with husband and fellow comedian Mark O'Keeffe
Mark O'Keefe (IR) is an Irish comic who started out in Vancouver, Canada and had been on the road doing stand up internationally ever since. His crowd work, acerbic style and joke writing has audiences in hysterics all over the world. His light-hearted charm only magnifies the dark and twisted undertones he challenges audiences to appreciate with his dynamic style. Mark is a regular at the Edinburgh Fringe with sold out runs in 2023 and 2024 and has been making waves at the Australian festivals which he will be returning to in 2025
