Oh dear, a competition. We actually don't like that so much. But with us,
it works a little differently, because we declared the age of competition
between women and FLINTA* long ago to be over.
That 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. A lot of interactive fun is guaranteed ;) There will be oracle-like
answers to beer coaster questions, games, laughter, and jokes made, and of course, in the end, the audience throws the received
heart chips into the piggy banks, but here neither subjective
numbers from a jury are held up nor is there voting based on applause or the
fattest wallet. Instead, it's based democratically. And at the end, only the comedy act that has 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 the women, FLINTA* & queers of the German comedy scene - for more visibility of marginalized groups, individuals, and topics that hardly take place on conservative comedy stages.
SMASH COMEDY is an alternative show with different perspectives and jokes about life, society, and being human. A stage free from toxic masculinity, misogyny, and racism, as well as queer and transphobia - a platform for queers, non-binary people, women, lesbians, trans individuals, and more - 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 and cultural activist act. Stand in solidarity, educate yourself, work on your empathy muscles, and join our shows, we look forward to seeing you!
If you are FLINTA* or queer and want to try out stand-up comedy, send us an email at smashcomedyshow@gmail.com, and you will get a spot in our open mic show!
