Doppelte Spaßbürgerschaft: Wir sprechen deutsch

In the organizer's words:

COLOGNE COMEDY FESTIVAL 2025

Matilde Keizer
In her first solo program "Lasagne in bed", Matilde takes us on a journey through her life. We experience her as an Italian in the capital, her "career" as an actress and her cultural misunderstandings - and all this with a mother that some might not wish for.
But you are lucky enough to be able to laugh about it. With self-irony, Matilde can deal with anything life throws at her, and with every laugh you feel lighter. No topic is too good for Matilde and everyone will find something to smile, giggle or laugh about - so much so that it almost hurts a little. The balancing act between pain and humor. That is Matilde's comedy. And you can enjoy it heartily in the balancing act.

Sulaiman Massomi
Writer, poetry slammer, rapper, comedian, cabaret artist, word acrobat or foreigner?
Sulaiman Masomi is like Schrödinger's cat. Everything and nothing at the same time. You can't pin him down to one specific field. A graduate in literary studies, media studies and cultural anthropology, Masomi has found his passion in his work. Anthropologist has turned his passion into his profession: words and people.
And where better to combine the two than on the stages of this world.

Ill- Young Kim
These are the adventures of Illyoung Kim, who is traveling in Germany to explore new abysses. Many light years away from the mother planet Korea, Kim ventures into galaxies that no human has ever experienced on stage before.
lllyoung Kim is a stand-up comedian, actor, presenter and true Cologne native. His parents are from South Korea.
As a stand-up comedian, he draws on the hair-raising experiences he has every day as a German with an Asian appearance. In the process, the man from Cologne is mistaken for the North Korean dictator. Chaos breaks out in the Chinese restaurant. And Kim loves dogs anyway.
Illyoung Kim casually and charmingly presents his spicy take on things.

Host Fatih Çevikkollu
The news is gloomy, but many things have improved.
The only thing that is worse today than in the past is the view of the future.
A virus brought the world to a standstill and for a brief moment it went Zoom. And there was the dream of a better world, a world that was thinking about slowing down, being more considerate, living more sustainably. And then there were flights for €19.90 again.
Advertising continues to unwaveringly create needs that we don't have in order to sell us products that we don't need.
Your freedom ends where the interests of the capitalists begin.
What is important? Freud says renunciation of urges is the cradle of culture, but what does he know. On a finite planet, I can't grow infinitely. Optimization doesn't solve a single problem. Oh, what?
