Uh! Smash Comedy goes Stand Up SLAM!
Much interactive fun guaranteed.
Oh dear, a competition. Yay! But with us, it works a bit differently, because we have long declared the era of competition between women and FLINTA* to be over. This means: In our SLAM format, a total of 6 female, queer and/or FLINTA* comedians do NOT compete "against" each other. Instead, they perform "with" each other. Questions will be answered oracle-style on beer mats, played, laughed, and jokes will be made, and yes, of course, in the end, the audience tosses the heart chips they received into the piggy banks, but here, no subjective scores are held up by a jury nor are votes counted based on applause meter or the thickest wallet. Instead, it’s based on democracy. And in the end, only the comedy act with the most chips in the piggy bank will find out that he*she*they has won. And the Instagram bubble.
SMASH COMEDY is Hamburg's first and only queer-feminist stand-up comedy show, celebrating women, FLINTA* & queers in the German comedy scene - for more visibility of marginalized groups, individuals, and topics that rarely take place on conservative comedy stages.
SMASH COMEDY is an alternative show with different perspectives and jokes about life, society, and humanity. A stage free from toxic masculinity, misogyny, and racism, queer- and transphobia - a stage for queers, non-binary, women, lesbians, trans individuals, among others - and a safe(r) space for the audience as well. Motto: With maximum fun and diversity power against discrimination.
Our stand-up comedy is not political cabaret, yet it is a political, a cultural activist act. Stand in solidarity, educate yourself, train your empathy muscles, and come to our shows, we look forward to seeing you!
If you are FLINTA* or queer and want to try stand-up comedy, send us an email at smashcomedyshow@gmail.com, and you will get a spot in our show!
