Christoph Fälbl & Michelle Härle - Die Tragik mit der Komik - CasaNova Vienna

CasaNova Vienna, Wien

A burnt-out comedian meets a young woman with a big dream in a bar: she wants to become a comedian. A joke for him - in the truest sense of the word.

He has long since lost his sense of humor. The audience bores him, the stage bores him. Only reluctantly does he take her under his wing. What follows is a wild ride through the world of gags and punchlines. Between biting comments, quirky lessons and failed performances, central questions of humor are posed: What makes a gag really funny? Why does a joke work for one person and not for another?

This tragicomic world premiere shows with a lot of heart and a good dose of self-irony how close laughter and failure are, and that true comedy requires not only technique, but also courage, emotion and honesty.
