SWISS HERO ZURICH: Comedy with Ahmet Bilge
wunderbox, brauerstrasse 37, Zürich, CHSwiss Hero: A Night of English Standup Comedy with Ahmet Bilge! at Wunderbox Zurich!
Tickets : https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/theatre-stage/comedy-cabaret/swiss-hero-zurich-comedy-with-ahmet-bilge-7361719432522018909.html
Ahmet Bilge returns with his latest solo standup comedy show, Swiss Hero! Ahmet is embracing his true identity as Switzerland’s ultimate hero—a Turkish man with a Swiss passport! The one true hero this country needs right now. Get ready for an unforgettable night of laughter as Switzerland's favorite adopted comedian takes the stage to deliver a performance packed with sharp wit, playful banter, and his signature off-the-cuff crowd work.
Swiss Hero is not just a show—it's an experience. Ahmet will dive into a mix of fresh material, fan favorites, and unexpected moments, all while keeping you on your toes with his unpredictable interactions with the audience. Whether you're a longtime fan or a first-time viewer, this show promises to be a unique blend of humor, honesty, and just the right amount of absurdity.
Ahmet didn’t take the typical path to becoming one of Europe's top comedians. Growing up in the U.S., he learned to navigate life with a mix of cultures, and eventually found his comedic voice after moving to Turkey. But it wasn’t until he settled in Switzerland that his humor really found a home. Here, in the land of yodeling and punctuality, Ahmet’s sharp observations, embarrassing personal anecdotes, and witty take on Swiss life have made him a favorite among comedy lovers.
Come and witness why Ahmet is one of the top comedians, with performances that have left audiences ALL OVER THE WORLD in fits of laughter. And now, he's back in Switzerland in your city to bring you a night of comedy you won't want to miss!
Audience Testimonials: "Ahmet Bilge’s comedy is like a breath of fresh air—sharp, engaging, and downright hilarious!"
"The way he interacts with the crowd makes every show feel special. Swiss Hero is bound to be another classic."
"Ahmet has a unique way of making you laugh at life’s absurdities, all while making you feel like you’re laughing with a friend."
"I’ve never laughed so hard! Ahmet’s shows are always a highlight—don’t miss this one!"
Don’t miss your chance to see Ahmet Bilge in Swiss Hero!

Frequently Asked Questions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Is the show in English?
A: YES. Kon-Tiki Comedy is always in English.
Q: What's the difference of a Comedy Open Mic from a regular Comedy Show?
A: Anybody who wants can go on stage at a Comedy Open Mic. A bunch of Comedians will be there, but they will be trying out jokes, because this is how Comedians find out if something is funny or not, so you get to be there at the birthplace of jokes. Often Comedy Open Mics are more casual & but also funny as well!
Q: Can I perform Comedy also?
A: Yes of course! Just contact theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com if you're interested in performing. Or directly go to the event page on facebook & write "SPOT" inside the event discussion. You'll be confirmed later & will get 5minutes to start off with. Anybody can sign up!
Q: What about these seats?
A : We have enough seats for everyone but the first come first served rule applies! Especially since Kon-Tiki Comedy is popular, often it is packed inside, so come early for good seats. What's early? Anything before 19:00 & you will have your seat of choice.
Q : What about the late show?
Depending on the turnout a late show is also available most of the time, please check the ticket page to see if there is a late show option. Basically if you can buy tickets to the late show, it's happening, if it's not an option for a ticket it's not! Both shows might be consolidated into one if there's not enough ticket sold for the late show. In this case you will recieve an e-mail telling you so.
Q : Can I refund my ticket?
There are no refunds allowed because it becomes too much work for a simple Comedy Open Mic, so only buy your ticket if you know you're for sure going to be able to make it. But if for some reason you can't make it, you are welcome to use your ticket for any future Kon-Tiki Comedy Shows. Just write an e-mail to exchange.
Q : Can I buy tickets at the door?
No please don't. Technically we can but it complicates everything, so just buy them online. Just to persuade you NOT to ask to buy at the door: Tickets at the door are 15.-CHF. Please buy online : )
Q: Will it be funny?
A : You betcha. You can't do a regular show since 2018 & not be funny.
