OLIVER POLAK

Oliver Polak, the radiant heater of German comedy (DER SPIEGEL) is back: from October 15, he will be inviting audiences in twelve cities to his new live program "COMEDY", in which boundaries will most likely, but never accidentally, be explored - probably including those of good taste. As a pioneer of the uncompromising American comedy style, Polak has not only had a lasting impact on the German stand-up scene, but has also shaken it up - opening up radically, profoundly and with attitude.

After touring Europe and performing in New York & L.A., he proves with his new show COMEDY that humor can not only liberate, but above all connect. No joke is harder than reality - under this motto he makes the audience laugh, think, swallow - and laugh some more.

But what actually is comedy? The answer probably lies somewhere between Kant and cat TikToks. And who decides what is funny? The audience? The critics? The cat that puts a dead mouse on your pillow and thinks: "Here you go, your breakfast"? Or perhaps Oliver Polak - the man who asks himself: How do you bury your dog... and then your aunt? Spoiler: Not in the same box.

In his new program "COMEDY", Oliver Polak breaks reality down into its individual parts - and puts them back together again like an IKEA shelf that's missing a few screws. And that is precisely why it is perhaps more stable than many a soul. It's about everything. And nothing. About meaning, madness, the insanity of everyday life. The emotional neglect of a society that believes Iron Dome is a YouPorn category or a Marvel hero. A program like a punch with a punchline. Provocative. Touching.
Unforgettable. Oliver Polak is back. And he's serious about laughter.

"COMEDY" - In a time full of outrage and self-censorship, Oliver Polak presents a stand-up program
program that doesn't aim to please, but to hit. Especially himself.
"An evening with Oliver Polak is like an airplane crash in slow motion - except that everyone laughs"
