Chreis Cheib Slam #3

Right in the middle of Chreis Cheib, the new monthly Poetry Slam brings together some of the most exciting and successful voices on the German-language slam scene: experienced stage poets, fresh new names, big stories and punchlines that land.


Stand-up meets storytelling, poetry meets punchlines, fine observation meets well-crafted escalation.

The stage is set for an evening full of witty wordplay, surprises and plenty of energy.

In the end, there is only one question: who will take the Chreis Cheib?
