When Bayreuth fights for the best punchlines

On November 27, 2026, the small arts stage at DAS ZENTRUM in Bayreuth will transform into a true comedy battlefield. At the GTD Comedy Slam, several newcomers from the German comedy scene will compete against each other – with their own jokes, a maximum of ten minutes on stage, and only one goal: to make the audience laugh.

Stand-up with competitive fever

Here, classic stand-up meets the dynamics of a live competition. At least four artists will present their punchlines, stories, and observations directly from life. Reading off notes is forbidden, routine alone is not enough – what is required are timing, stage presence, and the ability to turn even a small span of everyday life into a big laugh moment.

The audience decides

At the GTD Comedy Slam, the jury is not in the back room, but right in the audience. The audience's reaction decides who wins the evening and takes home the special winner's trophy. Every laugh counts, every interjection can change the mood, and every punchline has the potential to sway the entire room to one act's side.

Andy Sauerwein hosts the evening

Host and gag lord Andy Sauerwein will guide the rapid comedy evening and provide the connective thread between performances. The format combines interaction, short performance times, and a high density of punchlines. This keeps the comedy atmosphere constantly moving: hardly has the last laugh faded, the next act is already prepared.

Germany's largest comedy competition

The GTD Comedy Slam takes place in more than 15 cities and brings over 100 comedians to the stages every year. In Bayreuth, the audience can expect a varied evening with different humor styles, fresh faces, and the exciting question of who will prevail against the competition. For comedy fans, this means: no polished standard show, but an immediate laugh experience with real competitive character.

Conclusion: Bayreuth votes for the best gags

Those who love stand-up, cabaret, quick-witted newcomers, and spontaneous audience reactions will experience a comedy evening with tempo and surprises at DAS ZENTRUM. On November 27, 2026, Bayreuth itself will decide who delivers the strongest performance. So take a seat, laugh along, and discover the next comedy star live.
