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!

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.
