1Live Hörsaal-Comedy Tour 2026

In the organizer's words:

1LIVE LECTURE HALL COMEDY TOUR 2026
Go to university to laugh

The biggest comedy party in the sector is back! With nine shows in seven cities, a mix of well-known comedians and promising newcomers - that's "1LIVE Hörsaal-Comedy 2026". This year, 1LIVE is once again bringing Germany's hottest comedy talents directly to the universities in the sector. The kick-off will take place on June 6, 2026 at the University of Paderborn, followed by the grand finale on June 28, 2026 at the University of Bochum. Tickets are available at all known advance booking offices.

This year, the audience can look forward to the comediennes and comedians Maria Ziffy, Josepha Walter, Björn von Morgenstern, Elissa Hamurcu, Abdul Kader Chahin, Maraam Haraam and Jerry Vsan !

This year's tour will be hosted by Maria Ziffy. At the age of 15, she was already on stage as a stand-up comedian and complained about the back pain of growing up. Six years later, nothing has changed, except that this is now also happening on her social media accounts. With her authentic, imperfect manner, she is able to explain her problems to over 3 million people - mostly in funny sketches. Comedy and fun are the Offenbach native's top priorities and with her comedy, whether on stage or online, she wants to connect people and together forget the worries of everyday life (back pain, laundry, taking out the trash).

Josepha Walter prefers to stand, sit, observe, think and live from the sidelines and that is exactly what her comedy is all about: Almost nice here, almost successful the evening, almost interesting the conversation, almost not unpleasant the date - but then why does everyone always have to be so strange? Or is it just her? Thanks to her precise observation of the world and her absolute ear for inadvertent side truths, she rarely finds the mistake, but much more often the mistakes, of which there are usually quite a few.

Björn von Morgenstern talks about youth in the village - between the traffic circle festival and other creative events. He also talks about how crazy the big wide world is when you get to know most things much later than everyone else. So it's no wonder that he also interpreted his time in the German army rather creatively. It's rarely serious, but always absurd and funny.

Elissa Hamurcu, born and raised in the heart of Berlin's Neukölln district, ventured onto the comedy scene in 2022 - as Germany's youngest stand-up comedian. With her humor, which can be described as a healthy middle ground between dry and lively, it's in the eye of the beholder), she travels all over Germany and brings a breath of fresh air to the comedy scene. Whether it's Falsch aber lustig, the Quatsch Comedy Show, several mix shows or open mics of all kinds - Elissa is on stage everywhere. Elissa's comedy in a nutshell: authentic delivery. Elissa Hamurc will be on stage in Paderborn, Bielefeld, Düsseldorf and Bochum on the 1LIVE Hörsaal-Comedy Tour.

Abdul Kader Chahin 's perspective on topics and observations is usually different. Often with foresight, but mostly also simply dishonorable. "Ehrenlos" is Abdul Chahin's new comedy tour. After the first program "Achte Jetzt!" was a complete success, the focus of the new tour is elsewhere. And that's you! The topics are dating, the Bundestag, partying and language. Strange combination of topics? He's a funny guy too. Chahin goes for mom on the new tour. From everyone. Simply dishonorable but maybe more than that? You can see Abdul Kader Chahin on this year's 1LIVE Hörsaal-Comedy Tour in Paderborn, Münster, Wuppertal and Essen.

Maraam Tarraf, 25 years old, is one of the most influential voices of a new, self-confident generation of comediennes in Germany. She has been a formative part of Datteltäter for almost four years. She combines attitude, humor and pop culture. Maraam has been a permanent ensemble member of the Carolin Kebekus Show since 2025. With her strong digital presence, Maraam Tarraf reaches an audience of millions. Maraam Tarraf is considered one of the first hijabis to combine comedy, acting and moderation in a visible, natural and self-determined way in the public space - creating new images, opening up new perspectives and becoming a figure of identification for many young women.

Jerry Vsan does what he wants to do - and that's exactly what goes down well. What began around 2019 in the Cologne hip-hop scene with tracks such as "Cornern mit den Jungs" has developed into one of the most exciting success stories in German comedy. Jerry combines his lyrical talent as a rapper with an instinctive timing for stand-up.

Since his strategic switch to comedy at the end of 2024, things have been going uphill: as the triumphant winner of the casting show "Rebell's Most Wanted", he not only secured the prize money of 10,000 euros, but also the respect of the absolute industry elite. Today, he fills the halls as a headliner at NightWash and guest of 1LIVE Comedy-Nacht XXL.

His "Try Out Tour 2026" was sold out in record time. Jerry Vsan delivers a mixture that is rarely found: Tough stories from the street, wrapped up in a "silly" attitude and pure self-irony. He doesn't take himself too seriously, but he takes his audience all the more seriously.

1LIVE Hörsaal-Comedy is produced and organized by Banijay Germany Live GmbH.
