Yes, it’s not a joke, we really are bringing you a German comedian (in English)! He’s blond, he’s two metres tall, he’s German and he’s sorry! Award-winning international comedian Christian Schulte-Loh says about his country: ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover – unless it’s a German passport.’ Opening the show will be Canadian comedian, Joe Eagan, who has a very unusual act indeed. PLUS our MC for the evening will be Lara Csengody, from the USA, who recently starred at our Open-Mic show and was such a huge hit that we decided to get her straight back for this show.

Christian Schulte-Loh was the first comedian to perform for Baby Blue Banana in 2009, when he previewed his Edinburgh Festival show for that year in Budapest. Little did we know that his Edinburgh show would shoot him to stardom in the UK and around the world, with a string of sell-out shows at Edinburgh followed by many more successful shows worldwide, working alongside some of the biggest names in comedy. He has toured North America and around Europe with great success too, headlining some of the most celebrated comedy clubs, such as London’s Comedy Store. We are delighted to bring him back again to Budapest, where it all began for him and for us.

What the critics say about Christian Schulte-Loh:
“Christian Schulte-Loh has created one of the most subversive acts I’ve ever seen. The gags have an astonishing freshness and power.” – The Spectator
“A funny German – The only one!” – KKunst, Belgium
“Great energy, great personality!” – The Comedy Store, London

Canada’s Joe Eagan combines stand-up comedy with his own brand of “sit-down comedy”, including the use of pictures and music. He is a regular performer to international audiences and has appeared all over the world, using his impressive skills to entertain in many languages. He prides himself in making every show different and appropriate to the audience.

Lara Csengody recently relocated to Budapest from her native USA to discover her Hungarian roots. Lara had already established herself as a successful stand-up comedian in the competitive world of America’s comedy clubs and has already made a spectacular debut in Budapest, headlining our recent charity open-mic show.

Our most recent show in December was described by reviewer “Treehugger” Dan Swartz as: “The 2012 Standup Comedy season ended with a bang… one of the best Baby Blue Banana shows of the year.” After the success of that show, we expect the first show of 2013 to be extremely popular again, so we strongly recommend making reservations and buying tickets early to avoid disappointment.

Tickets can now be purchased in advance with a 500ft discount, either online via BabyBlueBanana.com or in person at:
