KDK Stand Up

Stand-up comedy is booming and everyone’s talking about it! From Berlin to Bergisch Gladbach, comedy talents are popping up out of nowhere and taking the stage by storm with killer punchlines, cynical jokes, and nonstop improv. And while comedians practice and hone their craft at open mics, we’re searching for Germany’s wildest comedians with their best sets and bringing them to Hamburg’s theater stages in the beloved slam format—but without poems, haikus, poetry, but with biting jokes and a subtle sense of humor. Until recently, hardly any German comedian had managed to keep up with the great American legends of this art form, but for some time now, the stream of new rising stars hasn’t let up. Political, raunchy, below the belt, subtle, surprising, offensive, and wholesome: all of that is stand-up comedy, and all of that can happen every night at the Stand-Up Slam. Great jokes, perfect punchlines. When the water bottle is set down on the barstool, a quick glance at the notes, a mischievous smile, and the first joke lands—that’s when you know it’s stand-up. The show is hosted by Hinnerk Köhn—you probably know him, and if not, you’re going to love him. Or hate him. But either way, it’s worth it.
