Mark Rutte may call Trump 'Daddy,' but Ursula says: 'Mom is angry.' American-Dutchman Greg Shapiro is preparing the Dutch public for the US midterm elections in November 2026, if they even take place this time. And since Shapiro is known for his Trump impersonations, he wonders if he will ever be allowed back into his native country. Or will ICE make him disappear? 'King Me,' showing at Theater Bellevue, is a mix of stand-up comedy and storytelling, with another touch of Trump-inspired improvisation.
King Me
On July 4, 2026, the United States celebrates 250 years of independence… by bringing back the king. With Donald Trump in power, 250 years seem to have passed. 'What a perfect moment for a new American revolution,' exclaims Dutch-American comedian Greg Shapiro. Yet Shapiro also dares to take a positive view of the US. He predicts that Trump's tyrannical behavior will not last long, provided Europe is strong. If the Epstein files prove anything, it is that certain world leaders are attracted to anything but strong, mature women. 'King Me' is Shapiro's ninth solo show. The performance is staged in English, with a little bit of Dutch.
