Oliver Polak: Club Tour 2026
After a successful first slide in 2025, which left the audience somewhere between laughter and deep emotion, Oliver Polak goes on another big comedy club tour in 2026 — and remains the much-needed “radiant heater of German comedy” (Süddeutsche Zeitung). Under his motto “No joke is harder than reality”, he has proven with his new show that stand-up can be more than good gags: A seismograph of social moods, a reflection of our absurdities, the ups & downs of life!
COMEDY is a program that hits straight into the diaphragm — and into the heart. Trigger, trauma, Tinder madness. Oliver Polak digs his way through topics that others don't even want to google. Between Kant and cat content, he humorously negotiates what many can no longer stand: reality. Anyone who hasn't seen the show yet should ask themselves: What are you actually waiting for? As a pioneer of the uncompromising American comedy style, Polak has not only had a lasting impact on and changed the German stand-up scene, but also shook it awake — radically open, profoundly and with attitude. After tours through Europe and appearances in New York and L.A., he proves with his new show that humor can not only liberate, but above all connect. With “COMEDY,” Oliver Polak breaks down reality into its individual parts and puts them back together like an IKEA shelf that is missing a few screws. And that is perhaps why it is more stable than many souls. Nothing is everything and everything is nothing. It's about everything. And nothing. About meaning, madness, the insanity of everyday life. The emotional neglect of a society that believes Iron Dome is a YouPorn category or a Marvel hero. A program like a punch with a punch line. Provocative. Touching. Unforgettable. Oliver Polak is back. And he's serious about laughing.
“COMEDY” — In a time full of outrage and self-censorship, Oliver Polak brings a stand-up program that doesn't want to please, but hits. Especially himself.
“An evening with Oliver Polak is like a plane crash in slow motion — except that everyone laughs.” Robin Williams
