NightWash was awarded the German Comedy Prize for "Best Stand-Up Show" and is regarded as THE springboard for comedy newcomers in Germany. The format's philosophy includes the discovery and promotion of previously unknown talent. The NightWash Talent Award is one of the most renowned and popular competitions for comedy newcomers in Germany. Comedy stars such as Felix Lobrecht, Tahnee, Chris Tall, Enissa Amani and Özcan Cosar made their first appearances here.

For the first time, eight talents will compete against each other in three semi-final shows. The audience will decide live on site and online which contestants make it through to the final. All shows will be streamed live free of charge via the NightWash Club YouTube account from 7 pm. You will soon be able to see the most successful comedians on the NightWash Live Tour!

The NightWash Talent Award takes place as part of the cologne comedy festival.
