Jacko’s Father Teaches Dance
After years of having its top talent grabbed up by New York’s top houses of funny, a small but influential Dutch comedy troupe— whose “Michael Jackson’s Father Teaches Dance” is becoming popular on the Internet — has finally made its debut in Gotham. Last week, the English-speaking Amsterdammers of Boom Chicago kicked off a Governors Island celebration of the quadricentennial of the founding of New York (as New Amsterdam) by the Dutch. But the small troupe has already infiltrated almost all comedy meccas in the city.
