Maschsee Stage

7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.: HAZ Presents Poetry Slam

Hosts Henning Chadde and Jan Egge Sedelies are presenting a poetry slam at the Maschseefest for the third time, featuring fantastic guests. Luksan Wunder is a comedy and satire collective. With their unique brand of humor, they’ve created a universe of elaborately produced nonsense, meticulously detailed parodies, crude wordplay, and ironic, satirical punchlines. Their live shows are a wild ride of music, videos, satire, sketches, cabaret, and stand-up comedy that masterfully bring the Internet age to the stage. Their video series “Proper Pronunciation,” “Literal Videos,” “Bad Lip Reading Videos,” tutorials, and life hacks—as well as the “Most Unsatisfying Video Ever Made”—are viral hits, and the crew’s videos have racked up over half a billion views worldwide.
