Cabaret & Comedy in Hamburg

Hamburgers don't go to the basement to laugh - they go to the theater, to a stand-up show, to a cabaret, and and and.... There are opportunities for this all over the city. Comedies are performed at the Winterhuder Fährhaus (often with a prominent cast), young comedians find a stage at the Schmidtchen to present new formats, and the Polittbüro is the place to go for cabaret fans.

Clear the stage for the poets Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg is quite famous for poetry slams - or in German: Wettstreit der Dichter. The participants recite self-written texts and the audience decides on the winner afterwards.
