Humour in business – why laughter is the better strategy

16. February 2026 – Mandy Weinand

Meetings, KPIs, change processes – who says business can’t be entertaining, funny and liberating? At a time when stress, uncertainty and complexity characterise the everyday working lives of many people, humour is taking on a whole new role: as a tool for communication, an outlet for emotions and a catalyst for change.

Business cabaret and humorous keynotes

… can do much more than just entertain. They stimulate thought, break down entrenched patterns of thinking and create an atmosphere in which new perspectives become possible. Because when you laugh, you are attentive, open and emotionally touched – exactly the right state of mind for anchoring important content in a lasting way.

Our speakers and cabaret artists combine intelligent entertainment with depth, wit with attitude and punchlines with a message – at the highest level.

These personalities turn business events into an experience:
