1LIVE Comedy Night XXL — the WDR's comedy brand
When 1LIVE calls for the Comedy Night XXL in the Rudolf Weber-Arena, it's something like a family reunion for the German comedy scene in NRW. On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, the WDR youth radio station will once again gather a lineup of comedians on a single stage — four live shows in a row, with more comedians than ever before. The show starts at 8:00 PM.
The Concept
Instead of a classic stand-up evening, the Comedy Night XXL offers a show format: well-known comedians from the German stand-up, slapstick, and cabaret scene alternate with newcomers. The sets are short, the pace is high, the program is diverse — from political satire to relationship comedy. This makes the show ideal for a broad audience.
1LIVE — the WDR youth radio station
1LIVE is the youth program of Westdeutscher Rundfunk and is considered the most-listened-to youth radio station in Germany. For years, the brand has also shaped its live event program: the 1LIVE Krone as a music award, the 1LIVE Hörsaal-Comedy in university towns, and the Comedy Night XXL as a seasonal highlight. 1LIVE usually announces the specific names performing on October 21, 2026, just a few weeks before the event.
Rudolf Weber-Arena — the multi-purpose hall in Oberhausen
The Rudolf Weber-Arena (formerly König Pilsener Arena) at the Centro Quartier in Oberhausen is one of the largest multi-purpose halls in the Ruhr area. Up to 12,500 visitors can be accommodated in the arena — comedy shows usually use concert seating with better sightlines. The arena hosts concerts, EHC Oberhausen ice hockey games, and comedy tours.
Oberhausen — a comedy hub in the western Ruhr area
Oberhausen is located in the western Ruhr area and, with around 209,000 inhabitants, is one of the major cities in North Rhine-Westphalia. The Neue Mitte district around the Centro has developed into a cultural hub over the past 25 years — in addition to the Weber-Arena, it houses the Metronom Theater, Sea Life, and the Centro shopping mall.
