endless laughter in the basement of Neuchâtel
Stand-up comedy is spreading around the world like wildfire, even making its way into the basements of Neuchâtel establishments. A promising new comedy club will open its doors in a month: L'under Boc
What is a comedy club?
It's a place dedicated to humor, where a comedian performs stand-up comedy (a comic monologue inspired by everyday situations). Traditionally, the comedy club is composed of a small stage without any grandiloquent accessories, favoring minimalist staging: a microphone and a stool. The audience is close to the stage, creating an intimate atmosphere with the artist. This type of venue was first created in cities like New York and Paris, before conquering the rest of the world. On Netflix, the comedy program "One night in Paris" features the cream of French stand-up and reflects the spirit of the various Parisian comedy clubs.
The rise of stand-up in French-speaking Switzerland
Thomas Wiesel, Marina Rollmann, Bruno Peki, to name but a few... The French-speaking Swiss scene is full of talent and already has its own major French-language comedy events such as the Swiss Comedy Club or the Montreux Comedy Club. Before performing on such stages, comedians have to refine their humor and polish their "punchlines" in more modest cafés-theaters. A necessary step! It is in this spirit of discovery that L'Under Boc wishes to assert itself with shows every weekend. In the basement of the new craft beer bar "Beer O'Clock", the weekends are going to be electric in Neuchâtel with a program proposed by the comedian Christian Mukuna who will also be master of ceremonies. The opening night will take place on October 27th.
