Our Livestream archive

Due to the closures and restrictions to prevent the spread of Covid-19, we had to move our comedy show into the virtual world. Even though we are once more able to be together in the cozy atmosphere at the AHA, you can still watch some of our past shows any time on Youtube.

Our Youtube channel

On your Youtube channel most of our livestreams are archived for later viewing. Please note that some of our livestreams may only be available for a short time or only while they are live on air.
