Cheib Slam #2
The art of language, wordplay and big names from the poetry slam scene.
Right in the heart of Chreis Cheib, the crème de la crème of the German-speaking poetry slam scene are coming together. Six powerful voices, sharp punchlines and plenty of wordplay!
Taking part: two-time German-language runner-up Daniel Wagner, Comedy Cup winner Johannes Floehr, Swiss champion Gina Walter, reigning German-language team champion Jeremy Chavez, SM finalist Samira Parichani, and rapper and slam poet Yunus, who has previously performed at the Elbphilharmonie.
Stand-up meets storytelling, poetry meets punchlines, and keen observation meets skilful escalation.
Fabian Rütsche will be hosting the evening.
An evening full of linguistic artistry, humour and plenty of energy. Who will take home the Chreis Cheib?
