26th Komische Nacht Bielefeld

Komische Nacht is one of Germany's most successful live comedy formats. Across the finest cafes, restaurants and venues in the city, you get a lively and relaxed evening with performances by a range of comedians, cabaret artists and other comic performers. No two Komische Nacht events are alike.

The format offers a colourful snapshot of Germany's current comedy scene. At each venue, up to 5 comedians perform for around 20 minutes each over the course of the evening. The best part: you don't have to move from place to place to catch different acts. Just buy a ticket for your favourite venue and several performers will be "served" to you in turn. It's the comedians who travel between locations - off one stage and straight onto the next. For performers and audience alike, it's a genuine comedy marathon.

Whether it's a restaurant or a student pub, a cultural centre or a hair salon, a cinema hall or a cocktail bar - the venues of Komische Nacht are as varied as the comedians who perform in them. One thing stays the same everywhere: the laughs. And since laughing with others beats laughing alone, it's best to come with friends, colleagues or - depending on your sense of humour - even the in-laws. Together you can laugh, eat and drink well, and still have plenty of time in the breaks between sets to catch up properly.

The first Komische Nacht wound its way through the centre of Oldenburg back in 2008. Today this comedy marathon runs regularly in over 40 German cities, including Bielefeld, Frankfurt, Hannover, Kassel, Lübeck, Münster and Oldenburg.
