Greg Shapiro
After 250 years of independence, a king is back in power in the United States: King Donald. “Time for a new American revolution!” shouts Greg Shapiro, who predicts that the tyrannical behavior will be short-lived provided the midterm elections take place and Europe is strong. Mark Rutte may call Trump 'Daddy,' but Ursula says: "Mama is angry."
The American Netherlander Greg Shapiro also prepares the Dutch public for the American midterm elections in November 2026, if they even take place this time. And since Shapiro is known for his Trump impersonations, he wonders whether he will ever be allowed back into his native country. Or will ICE make him disappear?
'KING ME' is a mix of standup comedy and storytelling, with another touch of Trump-inspired improvisation, and is Shapiro's ninth solo performance.
‘KING ME’ is performed in English, with a little bit of Dutch.
