NEGAH AMIRI

In the artist's words:

The new voice of German stand-up comedy

Negah Amiri is one of the most exciting comediennes in the country. Direct, funny, sensitive and at the same time sharp as a scalpel - she says what many only think. In her solo program "SCHÖN LAUT", she addresses all the topics that make others stare nervously at the floor: beauty pressure, self-care overload, cultural misunderstandings and normal everyday madness.
Negah shows that being loud not only requires courage, but also attitude.

From fleeing to Germany to becoming a celebrated comedy award winner

At the age of eleven, Negah came to Germany from Iran with her mother and brother. She grew up in Wiesbaden, graduated from high school, studied media and became a radio presenter - but she only found her real stage when she began to process her experiences with humor.
Teenage bullying experiences, racist remarks, a first name that invited stupid puns - Negah now turns them into empowering comedy.

In 2023, she was awarded the German Comedy Award for Best Newcomer - a milestone that showed that her voice is heard. And needed.

Comedy that goes where it hurts and still makes people laugh out loud

Negah's humor is honest. She doesn't take herself too seriously, but her topics all the more so. She opens up spaces where you can laugh together about embarrassing situations, cultural faux pas, moments of being overwhelmed or body-issues.
"SCHÖN LAUT" is a course of blunders, emotional rollercoasters and plain-speaking moments - at full throttle towards insight and good humor.

Podcast, TV & more

With the podcast "Cringe Potenzial", various TV appearances, her own web formats and her HR show "upDATE mit Negah Amiri", she has made a name for herself far beyond the stage. She now lives in Cologne and performs on Germany's biggest comedy stages.
