Founded in May 2022 by comedians and community builders Shahin Asmari and Jasmin Kettana, our show has quickly grown into one of the most exciting and inclusive comedy platforms in Hamburg. What began as a passion project has become a thriving hub for comedy lovers and performers from all walks of life.

​

As the only weekly English-language comedy show in Hamburg, we stand out not just for our consistency, but for our electric energy and diverse talent. With shows every Tuesday and Saturday, plus a special Spotlight show on the second Wednesday of every month, there’s always something new, bold, and hilarious happening on our stage. Whether you're seeing your favorite act return or catching a rising star for the first time, no two nights are the same.

​

We regularly feature a rotating lineup of local international comedians based in Hamburg, as well as visiting performers from across Germany and Europe. The result? A truly global comedy experience that brings fresh perspectives, sharp punchlines, and big laughs week after week. We are more than just a show—it’s a growing community of comedy lovers, mischief-makers, and fearless voices who aren’t afraid to bring the heat.

Come for the laughs, stay for the vibe. Burning Mic is where Hamburg’s English comedy scene comes alive.
