Smash Comedy – Cosmic Edition

Smash Comedy - Cosmic Edition

SMASH COMEDY meets PLANETARIUM HAMBURG! Stand-up comedy show under the stars: Hamburg's queer-feminist stand-up comedy club presents Germany's best comedians from the FLINTA* and LGBTIQ* scene with queer perspectives and jokes about life, society and being human in this special edition. A show without toxic masculinity, misogyny and racism, queer and trans hostility - motto: With maximum fun and diversity power against discrimination!

The line-up: Coremy, Tobias Born, Neo, Schwessi, et al. Berlin comedienne and cartoonist Ingrid Wenzel will comment on the show with witty sketches live at the star dome.

Admission: 29,- Euro, reduced 22,- Euro. Duration approx. 150 minutes (incl. interval), recommended from 16 years.

Coremy
Coremy RASES - even herself if she has to. But she prefers to sing: about her life as a music comedian and queer woman, body hair or the contradictions of Generation Z. Her lyrics are cheeky, poetic and screamingly funny. Coremy is already a star on the internet: millions of clicked videos on TikTok and a proud loser of the ESC by a hair's breadth. She also writes for the heute show (ZDF) and is a juror for the Grimme Prize. With her colorful shirts, bandana in her hair and a big grin on her face, she now travels the country, singing and telling her stories.

Tobias Born
There are two sides to everything in life, right? Here comes the made-up truth from Tobias Born. True to the motto: If you have to think outside the box, then please dress warmly. Well-known fairy tales are turned inside out so that they can no longer be read without bias, small talk is fundamentally taken apart and mansplaining à la: "You just don't have the balls!" is nipped in the bud. Always with a lot of self-irony and a wink. Fancy clichés? You can forget it!"

Neo
The year is 1993, Ariana Grande is born and later lands a mega hit with "Thank u, next", in which she sings about her ex Pete Davidson. He has deep circles under his eyes, just like comedian* Neo, also born in 1993. Coincidence? Behind these dark circles are years of experience in a heteronormative universe. With a queer-feminist perspective, Neo looks for absurdities in the clash of the two worlds, points them out and creates new provocative material for the stage in a balancing act of bitterness and hilarity. In 2023, Neo was the first non-binary person to make it onto the renowned Nightwash Comedy Final Show.

Schwessi
Schwessi has no time for surnames. She's over 40 and volunteers as a single mother - or what do you call it when you don't get paid for work? She's loud and she's purple - and if her comedy is already too loud for you, you should listen to her songs first! For Schwessi, the stage is first and foremost a social project. The more people listen to her get upset about the world, the less she has to get upset about the world. In order to enrich the male-dominated stand-up scene with new, female and queer perspectives and to give marginalized voices (including BiPoCs and people with disabilities) more visibility and a voice, Schwessi founded Germany's first queer-feminist stand-up comedy open mic in March 2023: the Smash Comedy Club. Everyone is welcome in the audience, but the stage belongs exclusively to FLINTA* (women, lesbians, intersex, trans, agender) and queer comedy acts.

Ingrid Wenzel
Ingrid Wenzel is a stand-up comedian, radio presenter and cartoonist. Instead of just getting upset about all-male line-ups, she founded "Stand-up for the Ladies" in 2016: Germany's only stand-up comedy open mic with a women's quota. And in order to have enough women on stage back then, she had to drag one or two female performers there. Today, she presents live shows and radio shows, mostly peacefully, draws comics and performs improv comedy. She will be painting the planetarium sky with her cartoons live.
