Comedians in the spotlight: Quatsch Comedy Hot Shot celebrates its 20th final!

Next Sunday, July 5, 2025, the grand finale of the “Quatsch Comedy Hot Shot” competition will take place in Berlin. In its twentieth edition, this event is a hot tip for comedy fans and those who want to become one. The competition offers newcomers the opportunity to prove themselves on stage and to fight the title. Thomas Hermanns, founder of the Quatsch Comedy Club, has observed an exciting trend in the comedy scene: The artists present their own weaknesses, be it physical or psychological, humorous way. In this way, they succeed in establishing a connection to the audience and at the same time showing their authenticity.

Hermanns also notes that political issues in the comedy are currently less popular. This helps the comedians to clearly differentiate themselves from the cabaret. While artists such as Felix Lobrecht, Chris Tall and Tutty Tran used to take their first steps at the "Quatsch Comedy Hot Shot", the career wish to become a stand-up comedian is being followed much more seriously today. It is no longer just about a part -time job; Comedians strive for a career, but without having the dream of wealth and fame.

a proven concept

The Hot Shot Show is based on a classic casting concept in which selected newcomers present their talent in front of the audience on the evening of the competition. Up to eight participants have around six minutes to convince the viewers of their skills. Instead of a traditional jury, the audience decides who will get on. The spectators choose their three favorites who move into the next round, and the Berlin comedy-Newcomer, who is elected three times as the audience favorite, even gets a "golden ticket" for the big live show. Once a year, the finalists present themselves in front of an expert jury, which also includes Thomas Hermanns, and show what they can do on it. Quatsch Comedy Club emphasizes that this is a great talent smithy, both for the artists themselves and for the comedy scene in Berlin as a whole.

the pulse of time as inspiration

In order to be able to survive in the fast -moving world of the comedy, it is important to use the pulse of time. This is exactly where the practice of stand-up comes in. As explained [Comedy Institut] (https://comedyinstitut.de/2024/02/nutze-den-duls-zeit-zeit-zeit-kulturen-und-trends-inem-stand-kraft-kraft-kraft-kraft-kraft and trends can enrich the material of the comedians. Topics that interest the audience are crucial to connect. Everyday observations, current discussions and even social media serve as a valuable source of inspiration. Creativity and courage are essential to research new ideas and relevant content and make the audience laugh.

With these approaches, the artists show that they are both life and are able to link their personal experiences with contemporary topics at the moment. The goal always remains to entertain the audience with new, fresh and, above all, relevant material. On Sunday, Berlin is again all about comedy. Who will win the title in the anniversary year? The audience can be excited!
