Phil Stadelmann

In the artist's words:

Born in 1990 to socialist parents in the Florence on the Elbe,
(Dresden-Neustadt clinic, delivery room 2, 23.05.1990, 13:41)
a young man enters the Hamburg comedy scene in February 2020. His first gig was at the Grüner Jäger, an institution in Hamburg's art and culture scene.
And it actually goes really well.

Even the host of the show, none other than Moritz Neumeier, said:

"That wasn't as crap as I thought it was going to be."
Thank you Moritz.

So, full of courage and confidence, I go out into the world and start my career as a comedian!

And then there was Corona. Cool.


The story could have ended there, but I stuck with it and built new goals and dreams in my head. And today I know that in five years the Laeiszhalle will be sold out and in ten years the Barclays Arena. That is, if someone hasn't managed to completely jolt this whole planet against the wall by then. It could happen. I don't want to say anything now, but let's cross our fingers.

I started presenting early on in my career and can now say that I'm one of the best comedy presenters in Hamburg. Several times a month I host the premium comedy show in Hamburg, the MoinHaHa Comedy Club, in front of more than a hundred people from all over Germany (and Austria and Switzerland). My biggest audience so far has been 500 people in the garden of the wonderful Schrödinger's, where I have co-hosted shows myself.

I have a talent for improvisation and naturally have my own material, but I love working with the people in front of the stage and letting everyone become part of the show. For me, the audience together with the people on stage is a product, a collective and everyone deserves to be picked up.

Perhaps this view comes from the fact that I spent 14 years of my life pushing plates through dining rooms and was allowed to host many small stages every day with the most diverse people and characters that this world has to offer.

And now I am an artist by profession. I have a guitar on which I can play five chords and stories that are funny. I am very good. And if you're thinking:

"Nah, but Phil... I'd take a look..."
