Are you over 40 and wondering where your hair went? Do you wake up with new aches and pains every day? Then you’ll fit right in at Ü40 Comedy—the only place where grumpy, dark, and absurd humor feels like home!
Join Jack Roberts and Harry Fücks, two seasoned Brits who are here to prove that comedy, like fine wine, gets better with age (and a little bitterness). Jack’s wit is sharper than his receding hairline, and Harry’s humor is as dry as the last bottle of gin at a neighborhood party.

He turned out to be none of those things, and to numb the pain Jack turned to stand-up comedy, choosing to subject himself to the ridicule of strangers just to get out of putting the kids to bed.

Harry Fücks
Harry Fücks is struggling with the trifecta of passing 50, being a single dad and failing to live up to his own name… comedy is his coping strategy. Originally from the UK - with just a hint of German - Harry has spent 23 years living in Switzerland and working in that most dangerous of professions - software development.
