Four arenas, one goal: endless laughter
The 1LIVE COMEDY NIGHT XXL - more comedians than ever before!
1LIVE and COLOGNE COMEDY are once again providing an absolute highlight in 2025 with four spectacular 1LIVE Comedy Nights XXL. Two dates in the Arena Oberhausen on October 22 and 23, two in Cologne on October 24 and 25, 2025 - and a line-up to be proud of. WDR will provide cross-media coverage of the event on October 25: on WDR television, on the radio and for the first time as TikTok LIVE.
This year's line-up:
This year's line-up combines everything that makes great comedy: host Tahnee inspires with stand-up, parodies and power, comedy icon and reigning German Comedy Award winner TorstenSträter delivers profundity with dry poetry. Florentine Osche and Maria Clara Groppler bring modern, sharp-witted humor to the stage, while Özcan Cosar and Osan Yaran score with cultural balancing acts and a lot of heart.
Olaf Schubert provides bizarre moments with his absurd style - and comedy award winners Tony Bauer and Josepha Walter impress as young voices with a fresh take on everyday life. Tutty Tran counters clichés with smart self-irony, Ruhrpott child Bastian Bielendorfer brings disarming humor to the Arena stage, Herr Schröder transforms everyday school life into comedy gold - and Freddy Ekué and Ana Lucía show that honest humor knows no bounds.
Almost 50,000 visitors are expected to attend this year's XXL series. The two Cologne shows were already sold out even before the program was announced. Tickets are still available for the dates in Oberhausen. WDR television will show the October 25 show in Cologne from the LANXESS arena on the same evening at 8:15 pm. 1LIVE will broadcast the spectacle live on the radio from 19:30 and for the first time as TikTok LIVE.
Line-up: Moderation: Tahnee, Tony Bauer, Mr. Schröder, Osan Yaran,
