Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the show really in English? Absolutely. Every set is performed in English by a mix of Swiss-based and international comics, so no Swiss-German skills required.
- What’s a “Comedy Open Mic”? It’s the testing ground for jokes. Pros road-test fresh material and brave newcomers grab their first five minutes. Expect some gems, some flops—and the fun of seeing comedy born in real time.
- Will it be funny? Most of the time, yes! An open mic is a roller-coaster: seasoned acts, new voices, and the occasional glorious train-wreck. It’s all part of the charm.
- Can I perform too? Yes - you need to book a spot - find out more about how to do it here: https://inyourfacecomedy.ch/perform/.
- Do I need to buy tickets in advance? Please do. We’re usually running around before the show and door sales slow things down. If you’re stuck, we’ll try, but no promises. Link to tickets as at https://inyourfacecomedy.ch/comedybrew/
- How does seating work? First come, first served so grab a drink, snag a seat, and settle in.
- Is food available at the bar? ROBIN’s serves drinks only. For a pre-show bite, try Restaurant Johanniter (classic Swiss) or Holy Cow! across the street for burgers.
- Will the comedians pick on me? We chat with the crowd for laughs, not humiliation. Friendly banter only - you’re safe.
- How long is the show? Doors open 7:30pm, show starts ~7:50pm with a 15 min break in the middle ending around 10pm. Enough time for the last trams home...
- Age limit? All ages welcome of course 16+ recommended (adult themes, spicy language).
