Schweizer Abend – Cologne Edition | COLOGNE COMEDY FESTIVAL 2023

In the organizer's words:

PREMIERE | COMEDY

Grüezi mitenand!

Take a pinch of the best Swiss comedians, add a drop of the funniest Cologne comedians, shake it all up and we have an almost homicidal comedy cocktail on our hands. Welcome to the Swiss Evening Cologne Edition!

Alain Frei: The Swiss-born comedian has been cleaning up the German comedy scene for years and is one of the most successful export hits. With a lot of charm, he puts his finger in the open wounds of society and does so without moralizing. The world is his home. He has made it his business to describe it with humor and irony. Alain Frei is the winner of numerous comedy awards and can be seen in various TV shows and on Netflix.

Fabio Landert: With his very own style, he conquered the stages in Switzerland and Germany. In 2019 he wins the SRF3 Comedy Talent Award 2019 as best newcomer and one month later he is the first Swiss to win the "Nightwash Talent Award". With a charming mix of a different point of view, self-deprecating attitude and Swiss composure, he effortlessly bridges the gap between sometimes controversial topics. Comedy that gets "under the skin".

Leila Ladari: Leila Ladari is half Swiss, half Austrian, half Tunisian and bad at fractions. She spends half her time doing stand-up comedy, the other half acting and the other half bringing shame to her family. Leila has had numerous TV appearances on German television and was a finalist for the 2022 Nightwash Talent Award at the laundromat.

Sertac Mutlu: The trademark of the likeable Cologne comedian is his versatile voice, with which he skillfully slips into different roles and thus breathes life into his stories. Whether it's the kebab man next door or the pumped-up gym owner, Sertaç skilfully caricatures stereotypes and plays with clichés. His charming perplexity in the face of the oddities of everyday life and his perspective on the world captivate the listener in a special way.
