PCCC*

PCCC* is Vienna’s first politically correct comedy club – and possibly the first one worldwide! There are no worn-out clichés about minorities here. Instead, there are slam numbers, songs and classic stand up from queer artists who kick up not down.

Political comedy of the PCCC* variety is based on consultation and consideration. Who can make jokes, from which position, about whom? Before every performance that evening’s performers meet up to discuss the scripts together and, if necessary, rewrite them. They are helped by a sensitivity consultant who specialises in handling material that might potentially include discriminatory content. For all its political ambitions, PCCC* provides an exuberant, laugh-out-loud experience at every one of its shows. It is held four times a year in Vienna and now also in Mülheim an der Ruhr. A late-night special that adds comedy to the official SHOWCASE line-up.

Your compere for the evening is Denice Bourbon. The performer, author, musician and political activist co-founded PCCC* in 2017. People told her: “You can’t be politically correct and funny. Forget it: that’s impossible!” PCCC* proves: yes, it is possible!
