An evening full of memories, punchlines, and female power at the filmforum
What Have We Laughed brings four defining voices of German comedy and TV history to Duisburg on September 9, 2026: Hella von Sinnen, Esther Schweins, Maren Kroymann, and Gaby Köster share stories from the past, about visibility, stage presence, and a comedic atmosphere where humor was too often conceived as male for too long.
When Laughter Suddenly Tells History
This documentary retrospective does not nostalgically look back at the past, but rather sharply, intelligently, and with palpable timing at a media world where female perspectives had to painstakingly carve out their place. It is this interplay of memory, irony, and audience reaction to stories that continue to resonate today that gives strength to the evening.
Four Names, Four Styles, One Common Journey
Hella von Sinnen represents vibrant stage presence and unmistakable energy, Maren Kroymann for direct punchlines with attitude, Gaby Köster for Cologne-like bluntness and groundedness, and Esther Schweins for subtle comedy with TV history. Together, they recount a time when stand-up, cabaret, and entertainment often struggled against clear role models.
Why This Film Evening is More Than Nostalgia
What Have We Laughed functions as a best-of of the female comedy rebellion: warm-hearted, precise, and with an eye for nuances. Anyone interested in humor, cabaret, television history, and strong stage personalities will experience a concentrated laughter experience with cultural value here.
The filmforum as a Suitable Venue
The filmforum at Dellplatz provides exactly the right setting: classic cinema palace atmosphere, clear view of the screen, and an audience that ensures there is plenty to discuss after the credits. The location fits the mix of documentary, entertainment, and insightful retrospection.
Conclusion
On September 9, 2026, the audience in Duisburg can expect a punchy evening of media history, female power, and fine humor. What Have We Laughed invites everyone to experience these perspectives live on screen and to bring their own laughter along.
