PCCC* the Politically Correct Comedy Club

Volksbühne welcomes back PCCC* the Politically Correct Comedy Club, on May 17th with: wurstaufschnitt, Claire Lefèvre, Sophia Spitzenberg, Anshita Koul and Zuzana Cuker. Hosted by Denice Bourbon. Der kuseng had to cancel his appearance.

PCCC* is a Queer Comedy Night for a Queer Audience and their Fans & Friends. On their regular and always sold out evenings in Vienna you’ll meet dancers, writers, rappers, workers, bookshop employees, life embracers, wine drinkers – all having one thing in common: a funny story to tell.

Denice Bourbon is a lesbian/queer feminist performance artist, singer, author, presenter, curator, and stand up comedian. She uses humor and entertainment as an activist tool to draw attention to political issues. In 2017 she co-founded the queer comedy club PCCC*, which she has been running alone since 2020 as a presenter, office genius and comedy mother. Denice is very loud, prude and pretty decadent.

Claire Lefèvre is a femme choreographer, insomniac writer, and reality TV enthusiast currently based in Vienna, Austria. Her work with text spans from poetry to grant applications, at times flirting with performance criticism, stand-up comedy or queer feminist theory. Occasionally she works as a ghost writer, but mostly because of the spectral appeal of the job title. Her last stage work LOIE (is a fire that cannot be extinguished) dealt with somatic archives, lesbian drama, and systematic erasure within dance history.

The satirist wurstaufschnitt started uploading videos on social media three years ago. His real name is Lionel, and in his videos, he addresses topics such as queerness, everyday racism, and societal issues. Since 2022, he has also been performing as a cabaret artist, sharing stories from his life as a queer person with a migration background. His current solo program, „Dear Diary, I’m Going to Be a Popstar,“ is being performed at the Kullisse in Vienna.

Global superstar actress, nightlife icon and part-time bar philosopher Zuzana Cuker was born in beautiful Prešov and grew up in Vienna. This explains her ability to convey both compassion and sarcasm with a single glance. After studying acting, she was drawn to the independent stage, where she proved herself to be a true all-rounder. As life has more to offer than just the limelight, she worked in bars and clubs for a while. For two years now, she has made Berlin nightlife her home.

Sophia Spitzenberg, also known as Hamburg’s funniest woman with a transition background, doesn’t shy away from any topic. Whether it’s about her broken mental health, her supportive but awkward family, or the strange way straight guys hug and maltreat each other’s backs, Sophia tackles it all. Always armed with trenchant observations, brutal honesty and a bit of absurdity, Sophia has a clever answer for everything.
