Poetry slam with Kilian Ziegler

Six of Switzerland’s best female and male poetry slammers will compete against each other, using words, wit, and creativity to win over the audience—and to win a bottle of fine whiskey.

What happens when the talents of a poet, a stand-up comedian, and a rapper come together? A poetry slammer! It’s exactly this blend of verbal acrobatics, humor, and spontaneity that awaits visitors at the Casino Trophy.

Kilian Ziegler, a well-known figure in the Swiss poetry slam scene, will host the evening. With his friendly and humorous manner, he skillfully introduces even first-time visitors to the world of poetry slam.

Six to seven artists compete against each other at the Casino Trophy, trying to win over the audience with their performances. In the end, it’s the audience that decides who wins the competition and gets to take home the coveted bottle of whiskey.

An entertaining evening full of wordplay, surprising punchlines, and creative writing—where the audience laughs a lot, marvels at clever wordplay, and applauds heartily.
