Jan Philipp Zymny - Illegale Straßentherapie

In the organizer's words:

Comedy can also be different.

Unusual. Absurd. Crazy.

"Illegal Street Therapy" is Jan Philipp Zymny's new comedy program and just the thing for you if you appreciate something special. Can't find a therapy place? All waiting lists are closed? Jan Philipp Zymny's new full-length program won't make your situation any worse. You may still not have a therapy place afterwards, but at least you'll have had an enjoyable evening. Due to increased demand: Unfortunately, all health insurance companies refuse to cover the ticket costs for Zymny's show. We think so: Those who finance homeopathy should actually have a sense of humor. . "I am crazy. I have documents to prove it." - Jan Philipp Zymny, Emotional Support Comedian The Bochum-based humor artist is going on tour throughout the German-speaking world from autumn 2025. Following the success of "Quantum Healing through Stand Up Comedy", he is bringing his next program to the stage with 100% new material. "Illegal Street Therapy" is for all those who are not afraid to take life for a ride and take a break from reality. With his inimitable blend of apt wit and profound irony, Zymny presents an evening that not only entertains but also challenges the mind. Experience how he picks reality apart with his fine sense of the absurd, and the focus is not just on "mental health". Instead, Zymny takes his audience into the crazy world of everyday life - sometimes astute, sometimes absurd, but always full of unpredictable twists and turns. He plays with the many facets of humor and delivers a comedy show that offers as much intellect as surprise. An evening for all those who find ordinary comedy too silly, philosophy too exhausting and reality too boring.

Press reviews:

"Jan Philipp is a bit crazy. Well, more than a little. The highbrow nonsense that he [...] spouts over the course of a good two hours ultimately doesn't fit on a cowhide. But it is Zymny's art to transform all of this into an evening that is as absurd as it is funny and is more than the sum of its parts." (General Anzeiger, March 2024, Bonn)

"Die Blitzbirne - Jan Philipp Zymny shines at the Lustspielhaus" "What a guy! What a performance! We're talking about Jan Philipp Zymny, this 30-year-old from Bochum, who makes you wonder why this gifted chatterbox hasn't won more than the Prix Pantheon (2016) and Schwerter Kleinkunstpreis (2019) in over ten years on cabaret stages [...] With his new program [...] he presents the Lustspielhaus not only with the youngest audience [...], but also with an evening that is as funny as it is amazing. As a two-time German Poetry Slam champion, he has often proven that he is a brilliant flashbulb - but his crowdwork is always fun...." (Thomas Becker, Süddeutsche Zeitung, March 2023)

"With the best will in the world, you can't categorize this man - yes, he has the title of German Poetry Slam Champion, but what he does on stage today is between all the genre chairs. In any case, it is very funny what Zymny brings together in a synthesis of reading, stand-up, cabaret, lecture and improvisation. And it's far removed from the kind of thing that makes some people look at "comedy" with suspicion - on the contrary: this guy is the philosopher among German comedians, in the open gap between Descartes and Helge Schneider." (Ilka Hein, MDR)

"His performance managed exactly that balancing act of audience proximity and impulse-generating, cultural acquisition, which ensured fierce applause and frenetic scoring. Zymny plays the modern Walter von der Vogelweide in a casual, modern and both grounded and bird-free manner. Flashes of inspiration and textual confidence, suitability for everyday life and nonsense go charmingly hand in hand" (Ruhr Nachrichten) Awards: Schwerter Kleinkunstpreis 2018 (awarded in May 2019) Jury Prize Prix Pantheon 2016
