BOING! Comedy Open Mic extrem!

At “BOING! Comedy Open Mic extrem!”, stand-up comedy is revealed as an open-ended process: new jokes, half-formed ideas, and risky punchlines meet an audience at the Horizont Theater on Thürmchenswall that doesn’t just watch—it reacts. The lineup remains a secret; the stage features newcomers as well as experienced comedians testing out fresh material. The “extreme” part lies in the feedback: After each set, red and green cards determine whether an idea works or falls flat, supplemented by anonymous QR code feedback sent directly to the performers. The result is an evening that presents comedy not as a polished product, but as an experimental setup—honest, sometimes raw, often insightful. Anyone who wants to perform can sign up on-site during the German open-mic nights between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; the shows usually start at 8:00 p.m., with doors opening an hour earlier. The format doesn’t demand perfection, but rather attitude, timing, and a willingness to view failure as a productive part of creative work.
