Hello Comedy Fans and Friends,
This is our last Show before the summer break, so don’t miss it!
Well, it’s World Cup Championship Time in Germany and we’re going to have a ball too!
On Thursday, June 29th we have another great line-up of fantastic performers.
You once again have the opportunity to see the show with or without a dinner in the awesome atmosphere of the Hard Rock Café.
This week we have an incredible line-up for you.
Appearing this show:
PAUL FOOT
Paul Foot is probably the most unique comic there is. You either love him or hate him.
His persona and delivery are deeply funny. Undeniable genius; unbearably funny. He treads a treacherous path between delicate comedy genius and awkward failure. His seemingly clueless style of delivery and his irrational rants against everything from librarians to bowel movements never fail to elicit a love/hate response from audiences. It is difficult to retain one’s lungs whilst watching Paul because you laugh so much you almost expel them.
PETER SHUB
He started his career as an opener for such great artist like Jerry Seinfeld, Eddie Murphy, Henny Youngman and attended the same college as Bill Cosby. He later studied under Marcel Marceau and has been one of Europe’s leading physical comedians performing with Roncalli Circus, the Cirque de Soleil, Cirque de Demain and has been seen on German TV many times. His crosso
ver between the physical and the wordless comedy and Stand-up make him truly the "Loudest Mime in the World"
JEM BROOKES
Jem has been in our show several times and has always peddled a relentless line of absurdist one-liners of wildly variable quality. Consolidating his great improv ability, he takes the "just happened to me today" moments and turns them into 10 and 20 minute tirades that leaves you wondering; "How does he come up with this shit?" His love for ginger-head jokes, German woman and German beer give him enough fodder for an incredibly entertaining evening
Hosting and Co-hosting the show as usual are: JOHNNY HOLLYWOOD and KATHY GERING.
Need we say more?
Once again we present our HOLLYWOOD’S COMEDY NIGHTS at the HARD ROCK CAFÉ in Cologne, and the word is out that we have the best all English Stand-up Comedy Show in town.
Remember, this IS the ONLY All English Stand-Up Comedy Show in town, so you won’t want to miss it. So come on down and bring your friends for the best Comedy entertainment around and each show is getting better and better..
We have moved the show to the downstairs so we can fit more of you in with seating and tables. That means around 150 will fit in the show, but not all will get seating. It’s first come first serve. Hey, it’s "Stand-up" Comedy.
We also have a great number of reservations from folks that don’t want to miss the show and we haven’t even sent out our mail yet. So if you plan on coming, you better get your reservations in quickly because this show will more than likely be a sell-out again.
Dinner guests will have a choice of 4 different entrée’s and will have table seating in prime locations to the stage.
Menu selections vary and all of them are including one soft drink.
The dinner will be served from 19:00 until 19:30h before the show and you can then sit back, digest and enjoy a few drinks before the show starts.
TABLES WILL BE HELD FOR DINNER RESERVATIONS ONLY UNTIL 19:30h.
AFTER THAT THEY WILL BE OPENED FOR GENERAL NON DINNER SEATING!
The doors open for the non-dinner guests at 19:30h so there is less confusion.
Show begins at 20:30h.
Ticket price for the Show with dinner is €20,- (Includes a choice of 4 Entrée’s) Ticket price for the Show without dinner is €10,- Students receive a € 2,- discount. (please present Student ID when purchasing ticket)Tickets for the dinner show must be reserved by 12:00 on Wednesday 24/05/06 at:

Well, it’s Comedy Time again!
On Thursday, May 25th we have a great line-up of fantastic performers in the awesome atmosphere of the Hard Rock Café. Plus you once again have the opportunity to see the show with or without a dinner.
This week we have an incredible line-up for you.
Appearing this show
CRAIG CAMPBELL: This Canadian legend is on tour in the UK and we were able to convince him you all needed some cooling down from this incredibly hot weather! (just kidding) Craig has performed all over the world and has appeared on TV shows like Comedy Now, Jim Carrey Live, the Dennis Miller Special and the world wide syndicated Ed’s Night Party. Having performed twice in the Edinburgh Festival with the DINKS and last year with his solo program, his story telling abilities have been compared to Billy Connelly. His take on life in general, from a Canadians point of view, will leave you rolling in the aisles. You won’t want to miss him!
FREDRIK SCHOENFELD: Although his name sounds German, he’s not. Fredrik comes to us from the far north where the blondes grow. He has kept audiences in Sweden laughing for over 10 years and his casual style and superb wit are now winning over audiences around the world. Performing for his second time in Germany, in English, he comes to us direct from Stockholm.
RAMONA SHOEPOWER (Ramona Schukraft): This young Lady has been gracing German stages and TV for the past several years and writes for Germany’s Sesame Street. We have invited her to join us again after many requests. (She says she’ll stop pestering me now.) Her takes on life in Cologne, loosing weight and the world of babies have become famous and we’re looking forward to see what she has to tell us this time.
Hosting and Co-hosting the show as usual are: JOHNNY HOLLYWOOD and KATHY GERING.
