Frequently Asked Questions:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Is the show in English?

A: YES. Kon-Tiki Comedy is always in English. 

Q: What's the difference of a Comedy Open Mic from a regular Comedy Show?

A: Anybody who wants can go on stage at a Comedy Open Mic. A bunch of Comedians will be there, but they will be trying out jokes, because this is how Comedians find out if something is funny or not, so you get to be there at the birthplace of jokes. Often Comedy Open Mics are more casual & but also funny as well!

Q: Can I perform Comedy also?
A: Yes of course! Just contact theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com if you're interested in performing. Or directly go to the event page on facebook & write "SPOT" inside the event discussion. You'll be confirmed later & will get 5minutes to start off with. Anybody can sign up!

Q: What about these seats?

A : We have enough seats for everyone but the first come first served rule applies! Especially since Kon-Tiki Comedy is popular, often it is packed inside, so come early for good seats. What's early? Anything before 19:00 & you will have your seat of choice.

Q : What about the late show? 

Depending on the turnout a late show is also available most of the time, please check the ticket page to see if there is a late show option. Basically if you can buy tickets to the late show, it's happening, if it's not an option for a ticket it's not! Both shows might be consolidated into one if there's not enough ticket sold for the late show. In this case you will recieve an e-mail telling you so.

Q : Can I refund my ticket? 

There are no refunds allowed because it becomes too much work for a simple Comedy Open Mic, so only buy your ticket if you know you're for sure going to be able to make it. But if for some reason you can't make it, you are welcome to use your ticket for any future Kon-Tiki Comedy Shows. Just write an e-mail to exchange.

Q : Can I buy tickets at the door?

No please don't. Technically we can but it complicates everything, so just buy them online. Just to persuade you NOT to ask to buy at the door: Tickets at the door are 20.-CHF. Please buy online : )  

Q: Will it be funny?

A : You betcha. You can't do a regular show since 2018 & not be funny.

But if it's any of the questions covered by the FAQ above, I will still answer it, but first I will insult you.
