Doppelte Spaßbürgerschaft 2023 | COLOGNE COMEDY FESTIVAL 2023

Host Fatih Cevikkollu skillfully juggles German and Turkish prejudices, reservations and fears. Can integration and international understanding simply be funny? Of course! Fatih makes it possible. This year he has also invited three guests:

Nektarios Vlachopoulos can do language! I swear he can speak the best language! Nektarios masters the whole keyboard of silliness from Ringelnatz to Pimmelwitz, uses the prefix "bums-" to increase adjectives and last but not least surprises himself again and again with finely honed rhetoric and bums-wise thoughts. A real gangster who has never been in a fight.

"I often have very bad thoughts, but I speak them," Erika Ratcliffe sums it up herself. She goes where it hurts with her US-style stand-up comedy: racism, hardcore feminism and vaginal fungus. Ratcliffe knows no taboo and finds her very own voice precisely in this lack of inhibition. The Berlin-based cynical Viennese with a Japanese mother and Austrian father stands for a harmonious balance of humor and sarcasm, comedy and cabaret.

Serkan Ates-Stein's comedy distills the comical from everyday life, sometimes childishly naive, sometimes absurd, always entertaining, never silly. Well pointed, well thought out and made for laughing. All his passion for the stage is unleashed here. By the beard of Serkan: It will be great! The Schnörres is real.
