Nico Hoffmeister

In the artist's words:

When irony hurts and boundaries blur

Nico Hoffmeister is a stand-up comedian, host and the quick-witted mastermind behind HAHA Comedy. Inspired by the merciless directness of British comedy, he fires off punchlines that don't ask if they're allowed - they just hit. Cringe? Of course. Below the belt? Regularly. His spontaneous ideas on stage are legendary - often improvised, always razor-sharp.

As host of the Satire Slam, he tours all over Germany, regularly takes to the microphone at HAHA Comedy Cologne and Moin Comedy Club Hamburg - and has left his mark on almost every major comedy club in the country: Comedyflash, Downstairs Berlin, Papperlapapp Mannheim and many more. He often headlines mixed shows - with a stage presence that barely leaves room to breathe.

Listening to Nico is not a feel-good program, but comedy with attitude, toughness and hand-picked punchlines. In the "Nicole" podcast, which he hosts together with Ole Waschkau, he talks about everything that is supposedly not talked about - including current affairs, bodily excretions and sex.

Nico Hoffmeister: an evening with him is like a car accident with an announcement - you don't want to look, but you can't look away either.
