The Hamburg Comedy Cup is a real success story in Hamburg's district culture: since its launch in 2003, the showcase of the German-speaking comedy scene has developed into one of the biggest cabaret competitions in the country. For four days, 20 artists compete for loud laughs, a place on the winners' podium and the coveted plush trophies.

The Schmidt is once again enriching the Hamburg Comedy Cup with exciting new talent that audiences have already come to know and love on the Schmidtchen stage: After a year of preparation and testing brand new material at the "Hamburger Comedy Slam - Das Spezial", Ulli Lissner and Niklas Beecken are now fit for the main round duel!
