Jokes, Jokes, Jokes - Interactive English Stand-up comedy

You write the prompts. They make it funny.

English stand-up comedy every Tuesday at ROBIN's, and for once the pressure is on the comics. On the way in you get a post-it. Write a word, a sentence, a confession or a terrible drawing and drop it in the box. The comics pull them out on stage and have to make them funny. Some jokes will live, some will die, and you decide which.

Your turn. Ever been picked on in the front row? This is where you get it back. Write the thing you would never say out loud, the drawing you are slightly ashamed of, the word that cannot possibly be funny. Nobody reads it until a comic is standing on stage holding it, with a full room waiting. They sweat, you don't. That's the deal.

In it together. Most comedy nights are them up there and you down here. Here that line goes. The jokes the room laughs hardest at are the ones the room wrote, and the comic who lands one made it with you, not at you. By the end of the night the best bits belong to everyone who was there and to nobody who wasn't.

How the night works. Doors open, you get a post-it and a pen. Whatever you write goes in the box. Writing one is optional and nobody gets dragged up: if you would rather watch, grab a drink and watch the comics squirm. Each comic does their own set, then pulls a post-it from the box and turns whatever you wrote into comedy on the spot. No preparation, no escape.

Who is on. A host and a rotating lineup of comics based in Switzerland and passing through, with very different styles: storytellers, one-liner machines, observational, absurd. Comics sign up in advance, so the sets mix polished bits, brand-new material and whatever the box hands them. The whole show is in English. No two Tuesdays are the same, because no two crowds write the same post-its.

Every Tuesday. Doors 19:30, show 20:00, done by 22:00. ROBIN's, Zähringerstrasse 33, two minutes from Central and five from the main station. Pick a Tuesday below for tickets.
