Smash Spezial: Doppel-Soloshow Stand Up Comedy & Musik mit Schwessi und Xenia

In the organizer's words:

SMASH SPEZIAL - Stand Up Comedy and Dirty Talk with Schwessi and Xenia

*

The two Hamburg comedians Xenia Brandt and Schwessi each present a 30-minute stand-up comedy solo program and then invite you to a cultivated dirty talk. Taboos are smashed and all questions about the very personal topics of addiction, homelessness and single mum life can be asked - funny anecdotes guaranteed.

*

Xenia Brandt is known for her rebellious humor and spicy topics that have made many a sailor blush. You may know her as the host of the Smash Comedy Open Mic, or as the cover girl of Hinz+kunzt, who recently told her story: when Xenia lived on the streets for years, and why stand-up comedy is her great love and her liberation. Xenia has already performed on stage with Moritz Neumeier, was a finalist at the Mannheim Comedy Cup in the sold-out CAPITOL, and at the Comedy Hot Shots of the Quatsch Comedy Club in Berlin.

*

As a single mother,SCHWESSI has no time for surnames. She polarizes online and live on stage with her jokes, her videos and her songs, only to unite everything again beyond all clichés. In terms of content, the AfD and the patriarchy meet full-forward humor and ruthless self-irony, and feminist utopias meet the apocalypse.

*

In order to enrich the male-dominated stand-up scene in Germany with new, female and queer perspectives and to give marginalized voices more visibility and a hearing, 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, inter, trans, agender) and queer comedy acts.

SMASH COMEDY is an alternative show with slightly different perspectives and jokes about life, society and being human. A stage without toxic masculinity, misogyny and racism, queer and trans hostility - a stage for queers, non-binary people, women, lesbians, trans people and others - a safe(r) space, also for the audience. Motto: With maximum fun and diversity power against discrimination.

*

Our stand-up comedy is not political cabaret, and yet it is a political, cultural activist act. Show solidarity, educate yourself, train your empathy muscles and come to our shows, we look forward to seeing you!

If you are FLINTA* or queer yourself and want to try out stand-up comedy, write us an email at smashcomedyshow@gmail.com and you'll get a spot in one of our shows!
