About Komische Nacht Lüneburg

Komische Nacht is Germany's most successful live comedy marathon format. On one evening, seven comedians perform on eight stages in Lüneburg's city center on a rotation principle: the artists move between locations with sets of around 20 minutes each, while the audience stays seated. This way, each venue experiences the same lineup throughout the evening. In 2026, Lüneburg will host two editions — the 17th Komische Nacht on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, and the 18th Komische Nacht on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The organizer is heiter und wolkig GmbH in cooperation with Landeszeitung Lüneburg.

The Komische Nacht Concept

Komische Nacht has a simple yet effective concept: seven comedians, seven or eight venues, a shared schedule. The artists move from venue to venue during the evening, performing a set of about 20 minutes at each. The audience remains in their booked location — and experiences the full lineup throughout the evening. The venues range from cultural centers to breweries, wine bars, bars, and cabaret halls. The format was invented about two decades ago and is now established in numerous German cities. In Lüneburg, Komische Nacht takes place twice a year — in spring and autumn.

17th Komische Nacht Lüneburg — April 21, 2026

The 17th edition takes place on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. Admission is at 6 PM, and the program starts at 7:30 PM. Seven comedians are confirmed: Yannick de la Pêche, BORA, Anna Bartling, Sebastian Schnoy, Timur Turga, Jesper Wulff, and Dave Davis. Eight venues are participating: Capitol, KLIPPO, KRONE Brauhaus, Kulturforum, Mälzer Brauhaus, Schröders Garten, and Wabnitz Weinbar. Many locations tend to sell out weeks in advance — early booking is recommended.

18th Komische Nacht Lüneburg — November 3, 2026

The 18th Komische Nacht follows on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 — a few weeks after the 'Nacht der Musik' in the same November. The detailed program, lineup, and venues for the autumn edition will be published in the weeks leading up to the event on the organizer's website. Tickets are available via Reservix and heiter und wolkig.

Organizer and Cooperation

Komische Nacht is organized by heiter und wolkig GmbH, a company specializing in comedy from Hanover. In Lüneburg, Landeszeitung Lüneburg is involved as a media partner and co-presenter. The close cooperation with local gastronomy makes the format an established part of Lüneburg's annual event calendar.

Seven comedians rotate with sets of about 20 minutes each between Capitol, KLIPPO, KRONE Brauhaus, Kulturforum, Mälzer Brauhaus, Schröders Garten, and Wabnitz Weinbar — the audience stays in their booked location and experiences the full lineup throughout the evening.

Seven Comedians on a Rotation Principle

The lineup for the 17th Komische Nacht brings together established stars of the German comedy scene and rising newcomers. Dave Davis and Sebastian Schnoy are regulars on the German stand-up and cabaret scene, BORA, Anna Bartling, Timur Turga, and Jesper Wulff have been gaining attention recently, and Yannick de la Pêche is one of the prominent solo comedians on the North German scene. The sets are usually very different in style — stand-up meets cabaret, political comedy meets observational humor. It is precisely this mix that makes the marathon format so appealing.
