Women’s Stand-up Comedy in Leipzig 2026
On January 6, 2026, Leipzig will host a vibrant evening of women’s stand-up comedy
Experienced female comedians from Berlin and Dresden will come together on one stage in Leipzig to perform their best stand-up monologues. The evening will take place at one of the city’s most iconic cultural venues — Mädler Passage, located in the very heart of Leipzig.
The show starts at 7:00 PM, with doors opening at 6:30 PM. The program features witty and honest observations about life in emigration, dating, cultural differences, growing up, and unexpected everyday situations — delivered with irony and relatable humor.
Stand-up performers in Leipzig:
Kristina Pilskaya — a Berlin-based stand-up comedian with an acting and film background, trained at GITIS. She moved from Russia in 2022 and draws on personal experiences of emigration, traveling across Europe, relationships, and life after 30.
Sasha Petrova — a comedy performer blending stand-up with acting, clowning, and absurdity. Her performances are emotional, unpredictable, and often blur the line between comedy and theatre through strong audience interaction.
Karina Epova — resident and co-organizer of the “Stand-up | Dresden” club. A trained linguist, she explores German language and culture through humor. A participant and winner of roast battles, known for sharp and bold jokes.
