In Munich the audience laughed, but also seemed to be a little taken aback. People in the Czech Republic seem to love this. My grandma even died during a heart massage. In February I was playing in Munich and I did a joke: I love massages, my whole family does. I would say it’s not that controversial, but audiences sometimes are a little surprised.
I like my humour sharp and a bit controversial. I talk about my family and a lot of observational stuff. I talk about being a woman in her 30s, about being single and trying to find love in a bigger city. Or I say: I am short, as you can see, because my mom is short and my father is a hobbit. Then I say: But it scores very highly in Scrabble. Lucie is easy, but my surname is kind of unpronouncable. When I perform in English, I like to open with introducing myself.

News, articles, interviews, series and podcast recommendations about stand-up, comedy an humour in general. But you could say: Being a writer, playing with words to create jokes has always worked for me. You focus on the storyline, on building characters or developing atmosphere. Whereas, as a scriptwriter, you don’t necessarily focus so much on jokes. I want to make them know immediately that this is gonna be funny. When I come on stage, I always want to make the audience laugh within the first six seconds. I do it so much, I write so much, I am used to thinking in jokes. You studied scriptwriting at the university. I like writing and a lot of other things. Not because I wouldn’t be able to make a living out of stand-up. You just need your own thoughts to entertain an arena of 2000 people. With stand-up you don’t need a big production or fireworks. Then I was absolutely smitten by how awesome, how difficult, how adventurous and exciting it was. That didn’t really interest me as a career. I had never done any theatre or even public speaking. And I still use parts of it until now.Īctually, I am a rather introvert person. Oh my god, how can you not drive? And I am more like: When you drive you cannot drink, so why would you drive anyways? It wasn’t the best or worst gig I ever had. Everyone is always really surprised about this. Lucie Macháčková: Yes, it was about the fact that I don’t have a driver’s license. Setup/Punchline: Lucie, can you remember the first set you ever played?
In order to change that, Prague based comedienne Lucie Macháčková will officiate as guide. It’s a neighbour country of Germany but history and language make the relationship feel a little distant. Today we dive into the scene in the Czech Republic. We go on with exploring stand-up scenes around Europe, even though stand-up has come to a screaching halt in spring and probably again this autumn.
