LOCAL COMEDIAN / NEWCOMER SPOT:
MALOU BENISCHKE@noramaloubenischke

Malou Benischke is quite uncomfortable writing her own press notice, but she still has to do it and reflect on her career. At only twenty years old, her jokes have made it all through the German stand-up comedy scene. Her act is a constant mixture of surprise and thoughts you didn't know were thinkable, but they are. Malou is brave enough to tell them out loud on a stage and make grumpy faces turn bright.
