Cologne celebrates 25 years Nightwash: A comedy spectacle in the dance fountain!
What a happy evening in the dance fountain in Cologne! On Friday, June 27, 2025, the well-known comedy show Nightwash celebrated its 25th anniversary with a magnificent anniversary show. Over 25 talented comedians, including some who are very popular today, shared the stage and provided numerous laughs. The event was moderated by Toni Bauer, who knew how to actively involve the audience from the start, such as reported.
A varied program that lasted over three hours offered a successful mix of enjoyment and fine humor. Bastian Bielendorfer explained the trend of hobby Horsing in a humorous way, while Mirja Bös performed ambiguous stories from her sauna visits. Atze Schröder provided acting interludes by imitating the "King of Lion" and "Herbert Grönemeyer", which put the audience in a sounding laugh. These highlights are just a few of many anecdotes that the comedians told on this special evening.
The core of Nightwash
The roots of Nightwash go back to Klaus-Jürgen "Knacki" Deuser, who launched the show 25 years ago to offer young talents a platform. The first recording took place in a laundry salon in the Belgian quarter - today the dance fountain is a completely different league. The inventor still has a positive impact on the comedy scene today and expressed the desire to be there at the 50th anniversary, such as Nightwash . Incidentally, the recording of the anniversary show will be broadcast on RTL2 on July 16 at 8:15 p.m.
An exciting variety of acts offered the audience: in addition to the already mentioned, Isabel Meili, Markus Krebs and many others also introduced themselves to the audience. They have all benefited from Nightwash in recent years and can look back on a steep career.
Özcan Coşar, another popular comedian, pointed out that comedians have to constantly create new jokes, while musicians can often repeat their repertoire for years - an interesting observation that illustrates the pressure of the industry.
humor is asked everywhere
stand-up comedy has developed enormously in Germany in recent years. There are more and more events that offer new talents the opportunity to present themselves. People like Hans Thalhammer took care of the matter and organize events such as "Yes & Next", where everyone can appear in a relaxed atmosphere for seven minutes. A nice way to promote respect for the artists, such as Standup-comedians In the future, the comedy scene will probably be more colorful, and Nightwash will remain an important part of it by offering a stage both popular comedians and aspiring talents. It remains to be seen which new faces will enter the stage in the coming years!
