Bonn-Bastic Christmas Spectacular | English Comedy Gameshow

Celebrate the festive season the only way we know how - by having a laugh and a fantastic time with your fellow international/internationally minded people!

The Bonn-Bastic Christmas Spectacular will combine all things we love and cherish - surprising presents, variety acts, audience participation and a special message from Santa himself (if we can't get Santa because he's busy this time of year, we'll recreate the birth of Jesus for your entertainment instead. Maybe. Proably not.)

Whoever said Christmastime isn't funny, hasn't spent it with a bunch of comedians!

Regardless of which holiday you're celebrating this festive season (or not celebrating at all) we hope to see you at our mad little experimental evening of ruckus and merriment!

Who should come to this show?
Anyone who's tired of standing in a Glühwein line at a Christmas market, anyone so in love with the holiday season that no amount of celebration is enough, anyone who absolutely hates this time of year (we'll cheer you right up OR give you another reason to hate December) and anyone who was supposed to plan their office Christmas party but forgot to make reservations somewhere - BRING THEM ALL TO US! Yes, even Jürgen!

Who shouldn't come to this show?
Anyone who takes themselves a bit too seriously. This is going to be very silly kind of fun.

Bonn-Bastic is hosted and produced by Mari Volar - an international comedian based right here in NRW.
Originally from cold and internet-savvy Estonia, Mari has been living in and making jokes about Germany since 2019. Her witty remarks on international living, loving and laughing have so far won over audiences in over 15 countries and counting.
She has opened for numerous touring comedians like Mario Adrion, Dragos, Elena Gabrielle and Victor Patrascan as well as performing at various festivals (Edinburg Fringe, Women in Comedy Festival Manchester, Hundertpro, Tallinn Fringe, Festrogen Festival). For the last year she's been trying to make Bonn the next comedy capital of Germany ;)

Some due diligence:
This show will include swearing/crude language and the occasional joke about Germans being a cold people with OCD-like tendencies. It just can't be helped. We hope you understand.
This show is pro -immiration; -queer people; -diversity, and intersectionally feminist.
