In the organizer's words:

SMASH COMEDY goes KÖLN!!! Hamburg's queerfeminist stand-up comedy club celebrates Pride Month all year round! And the queerness of the German stand-up scene: every month, the alternative arthouse cinema TURISTARAMA hosts a stand-up comedy open mic with ALL QUEER LINE UP of Germany's coolest LGBTQ comedians: five to eight professionals and newcomers each pass the mic and test their latest jokes and stories. - Presented by Smash founder, musician and stand-up comedienne Schwessi from Hamburg.

The special feature: the SMASH COMEDY stage belongs only to those who are extremely underrepresented in the scene (which is dominated by white hetero cis men). Instead of giving a stage to dick jokes, "my girlfriend" jokes and racist clichés, we want to create visibility for the voices and realities of life that are otherwise only the target of these jokes.

With maximum fun, awareness and diversity power against discrimination! Be inspired, show solidarity and train your empathy muscles! And then laugh so loudly together that patriarchal structures quietly start to crumble...

P.S.: If you are part of the LGBTQ community yourself and would like to play with us, send us an email to smashcomedyshow@gmail.com, we'd love to hear from you!
