Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the show really in English? Absolutely. Every set is performed in English by a mix of Swiss-based and international comics, so no Swiss-German skills required.
• What’s a “Comedy Open Mic”? It’s the testing ground for jokes. Pros road-test fresh material and brave newcomers grab their first five minutes. Expect some gems, some flops—and the fun of seeing comedy born in real time.
• Will it be funny? Most of the time, yes! An open mic is a roller-coaster: seasoned acts, new voices, and the occasional glorious train-wreck. It’s all part of the charm.
• Can I perform too? Yes - you need to book a spot - find out more about how to do it here: https://inyourfacecomedy.ch/perform/.
• Do I need to buy tickets in advance? Please do. We’re usually running around before the show and door sales slow things down. If you’re stuck, we’ll try, but no promises.
• How does seating work? First come, first served—so grab a drink, snag a seat, and settle in.
• Is food available at the bar? ROBIN’s serves drinks only. For a pre-show bite, try Restaurant Johanniter (classic Swiss) or Holy Cow! across the street for burgers.
• Will the comedians pick on me? We chat with the crowd for laughs, not humiliation. Friendly banter only - you’re safe.
• How long is the show? Doors open 7:30pm, show starts ~7:50pm with a 15 min break in the middle ending around 10pm. Enough time for the last trams home ;)
• Age limit? All ages welcome of course 16+ recommended (adult themes, spicy language).
