BEN SCHAFMEISTER | »Ein Tic anders« | HAMBURG

At 24, Ben Schafmeister has spent more time on stage than many a veteran performer. No wonder—he’s been on stage since he was 11 and has since become one of the country’s most exciting new comedy acts. As the host of *NightWash*, the cult classic of the German comedy scene, he guides audiences through over 100 shows a year with charm, dark humor, and razor-sharp timing. But now it’s time for his own tour—and it’s a real treat!

“Ein Tic Anders” is the name of his first solo show, with which he’ll embark on a tryout tour in the fall of 2025 and a major tour of Germany in 2026. The title says it all: Ben has Tourette syndrome—and he turns it into comedy that’s not only funny but also disarmingly honest. After all, what is “normal,” anyway? And how much of it do we really need?

His show isn’t classic stand-up, but rather a form of entertainment: self-written songs, stand-up, improv, visual presentations, and audience interaction—all combined in a unique mix that captivates his audience from the first minute to the last. Whether it’s absurd stories from an artist’s life, the quirks of Generation Z, or the pitfalls of growing up—Ben captures the spirit of the times and delivers an evening full of energy, charm, and unforgettable moments
