Dutch-American comedian Greg Shapiro (Comedy Central, Boom Chicago, VPRO) admits he is a climate hypocrite – but only part-time. With his trademark painful honesty, Shapiro examines how he tries to be an Idealist and falls hilariously short.

‘Part-Time Hypocrite’ reveals the truth behind:
– Becoming a green candidate for Amsterdam City Council.
– Volunteering for Greenpeace and causing an inter-office conflict.
– Bringing his daughter to a protest march; then buying her an iPod.

Shapiro the Idealist delights in shining a light on Corporate Greed. Shapiro the Hypocrite admits that sometimes he does corporate gigs for companies with Corporate Greed. He reveals the shocking truth of performing at corporate events for Big Oil. But he also makes time to tease the vegans for being Seitan Worshippers. And – while he invites the audience to join him in creating problems for Big Polluters – Shapiro also targets the lunatic greens who pollute the Green cause with conspiracy theories about GMOs with alien DNA.

Greg Shapiro is one of the originals at Boom Chicago theater in Amsterdam. He has hosted ‘Comedy Central News’ on ComedyCentral NL, and he has appeared on BNR, BNN-VARA, VPRO & ZDF in Germany. And yes, he is known as the voice of Trump in the ‘Netherlands Second’ viral video with 50 million views. As author, Greg has written books such as How to Be Dutch: the Quiz and his latest The American Netherlander: 25 Years of Expat Tales.
