Translation of German article edit
'NightWash' is a German comedy format, in which young artists and new stand-up comedy talents perform in front of an audience. The TV show is hosted by the inventor of the program Klaus-Jürgen Deuser. The unusual name (as well as being a reference to the name of the rock band Nightwish) comes from the original set (up to 2007): a laundry in the Belgian Quarter in Cologne. The window sill was a stage, with the audience sitting on the benches, which are usually in front of the washing machines, and often unsuspecting customers or passers-by were incorporated into the program with a comedian.
History edit
NightWash was initially shown from 2001 to 2006 on WDR television and Das Erste (one series, October 2003).
From 18 January 2007 to October 2009, the show was broadcast on Comedy Central Germany. With the second season (since 30 September 2007) on Comedy Central, the programs were initially recorded in Cologne's Gloria-Theater. Deuser explained at the beginning of the first episode of the new series, that the laundry had closed for economic reasons. In spite of the new venue, most of the known elements from the laundromat format were retained, such as the band or the mop-table.
Since changing to Einsfestival (a German digital channel) in November 2009, the show has been recorded in a launderette in Köln-Zollstock, a southern district of Cologne.
Comedians such as Hennes Bender, Mario Barth, Heinz Groening and Holger Mueller made their first television appearances on the show.
