When the punchline becomes history: What We Laughed About in Duisburg

On July 19, 2026 at 3:30 PM, a piece of media history meets the joy of loud laughter at filmforum Duisburg. What We Laughed About looks back at a television world where humor was often male, sharp, and often sexist – and gives women like Hella von Sinnen, Esther Schweins, Maren Kroymann, and Gaby Köster back the stage they had to fight for back then.

A documentary film with stand-up energy

Even without a classic live show, the comedy atmosphere crackles here. The stories from the beginnings of TV entertainment have timing, friction, and a lot of recognition value. Those who love cabaret, satire, and smart media criticism will experience a laughing experience with attitude: punchlines collide with old roles, memories meet fresh perspectives.

Women, wit, and television history

The film makes visible how much courage is behind many careers. What today looks like self-confidence was often a struggle for presence, interaction, and the right to be funny. This is the strength of this evening: the audience's reaction arises not only from nostalgia but from a clear view of a scene that has reshuffled itself.

The filmforum as the perfect stage for cinematic comedy culture

The filmforum at Dellplatz 16 in Duisburg brings the right mix of cinema palace flair and urban history. According to event information, the venue offers an atmosphere reminiscent of the 1950s, while also featuring modern media technology. For a program on media, humor, and visibility, this almost serves as a carefully crafted commentary on the content.

What visitors can expect

From FSK 12 and with a runtime of around 98 minutes, the event in Duisburg offers a pointed mix of reflection, analysis, and entertainment. Those who appreciate smart comedy, substantial cabaret, and television history with a wink will experience an evening that resonates. It's best to be there live and let the mix of irony, memory, and zeitgeist take effect.
