Habekost Goes on Tour - Border Crosser Between Wit and Woke - Comedian Chako Habekost Challenges Societal Norms in Germany
Comedian Chako Habekost is touring Germany, challenging societal norms and cultural phenomena with his satirical show. The comedian, whose real name is Edin Hasanović, debuted in Ludwigshafen this year to enthusiastic audiences and will continue his tour until the end of 2026, covering Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, and Baden-Württemberg.
Habekost's show playfully tackles serious topics, such as 'old white men', 'gender-inclusive language', and 'cultural appropriation'. He transforms the 'old white man' stereotype into an 'old wise man', embodying the Palatinate life motto: 'What will be, will be. And if it doesn’t happen, well, it’ll happen some other way.'
Habekost believes that division in societies is not solely caused by 'old white men', but also by younger men and women, regardless of their race. He thinks that people should be able to laugh at everything, but oversensitive grievances often make this difficult. He notes that generalizations and exaggerations in comedy can now be earnestly accused, blurring the line between satire and political seriousness.
Habekost's tour will continue until the end of 2026, encouraging audiences to laugh at societal norms and cultural phenomena. His show serves as a reminder that while serious topics should be addressed, they can also be approached with humour and self-reflection.
