Laugh up, stand up at Shedhalle

The three-day festival asks about the relationship between humour and racism in a witty and joyful manner. The festival aims to raise awareness of racist structures in humour and comedy, asks about racism as part of the Swiss humour discourse and promotes forms of humour that overcome existing stereotypes and give those a voice who are affected by racist exclusion.

Stand-up comedians, poetry slammers, youtubers, performance artists, musicians and scientists are invited to enter into a dialogue with the audience. Roundtable discussions, panel discussions and workshops stimulate the reflection of our own laughter.
