Winner of the German Comedy Award and a fixture on the German humor scene for 25 years: NightWash is more than just a show - it's an institution. What once began in the legendary launderette has developed into one of the most successful stand-up formats in the German-speaking world and today thrills audiences nationwide with over 150 live dates per year.

NightWash stands for comedy in its purest form: direct, approachable and surprising. This is where established greats meet the most exciting newcomers on the scene. Many of today's stars celebrated their first stage appearances in the cult comedy launderette - including Felix Lobrecht, Özcan Cosar, Chris Tall, Tahnee, Bastian Bielendorfer, Enissa Amani, Olaf Schubert, Bülent Ceylan, Torsten Sträter, Markus Krebs, Simon Stäblein, Maria Clara Groppler, Osan Yaran, Tutty Tran, Nico Stank, Negah Amiri, Carl Josef and numerous other artists who now fill large halls.

The secret of NightWash's success lies in its unique mix: fresh stand-up sets by popular comedians, bold new voices, spontaneous moments and surprising show interludes. Each edition is put together individually - no two evenings are the same.

NightWash stands for speed, punchline density and an enormous range of styles - from sharply observing everyday jokes to social satire and absurd humor. Whether well-known names or future stars: this is where comedy is celebrated, tested and developed - live, undisguised and at the highest level.

NightWash Live - comedy at its best. An evening guaranteed to leave no eye dry.
