An evening where punchlines become trophies
On October 8, 2026, the comedy scene heats up at APEX Göttingen: The GTD Comedy Slam brings newcomers, timing masters, and spontaneous audience reactions together in one wonderfully unpredictable laughter experience. Host Andy Sauerwein leads as the Gaglord through an evening where at least five acts each have only ten minutes to impress with their own jokes. The largest German comedy competition comes with clear rules, great stage presence, and maximum joke density. ([apex-goe.de](https://www.apex-goe.de/veranstaltungen/2026/oktober/gtd-comedy-slam/))
Comedy atmosphere with competitive fever
Anyone who loves stand-up, cabaret, and the slight thrill of the unpredictable will find exactly the mix here that gets an audience chuckling and then cheering. No reading, no excuses, just original punchlines: The audience experiences how each punchline directly transforms into applause or silence. This direct connection between stage and audience is what makes the allure of the comedy slam. ([apex-goe.de](https://www.apex-goe.de/veranstaltungen/2026/oktober/gtd-comedy-slam/))
The audience decides who wins
At the end of the evening, it’s not the prettiest pose, but the strongest audience reaction that counts. The spectators choose the winner of the evening, and the top contenders are additionally awarded a wild card for the Niedersachsen final in Braunschweig. This adds real competitive pressure to the evening on top of the laughter. ([apex-goe.de](https://www.apex-goe.de/veranstaltungen/2026/oktober/gtd-comedy-slam/))
