Have a good laugh at Theater Casino Zug

For over 10 years now, our English Stand­-up Comedy has been a regular source of laughter. Even if you’ve just arrived in Zug, while in the Theater Casino Zug you can consider yourself a local or at least get in touch with some real Swiss, have a good laugh together and enjoy the local curiosity about British humour.

The fish and chips are produced locally but à la British, while the beer and the comedians are the freshest, finest imports that can be mustered. Most important is the audience: a true melting pot of nations worldwide. This is Zug – welcome home!

Maureen Younger is frank, fast, feisty, sharp and engaging – honest humour with attitude!

In 2023 Maureen reached the finals of British Comedian of the Year and was placed third. In 2024 she was one of the acts performing at the Best of British Showcase at the Adelaide Comedy Festival.

Maureen works as a stand up comedian and compere all around the UK and abroad and is a regular face at all the major UK Comedy Clubs. As an experienced compere, Maureen is known for her quick wit and sharp audience interaction. In the UK she is one of the few (if only) comedians who performs regularly at mainstream, urban, gay and Asian comedy nights. Maureen has also gigged in German and French!

Her gigs have ranged from being the support act for comedians such as Frankie Boyle and Jen Brister and for the entire West End run of The Naked Magicians at the Trafalgar Studios as well as one of the warm up acts for Puppetry of the Penis to performing at the Barbican alongside Arthur Smith; supporting Shazia Mirza on tour; to being one of the acts at the Jamaica vs The World gigs at the Shepherds Bush Empire. (Maureen was representing the latter category!)

 

Ger Staunton was Described by the International Comedy Club as “One of the best comedy writers in Ireland” and by The Independent as having "Immaculately woven anecdotal riffs with a smooth pace and a dark twinkle", The deadpan Irish man is is at the top of his game and not to be missed.
Since the return of live entertainment in 2021 Staunton has embarked on his 3rd European tour spanning Austria, Slovakia, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland and has also just returned from a run of shows in Dubai, Iraq and India. Visiting Switzerland for the second time, Ger Staunton continues his quest to convert life’s unrelenting barrage of annoyances into laughter.
