SMEILINGEN

For the innovative sketch comedy, 17 top comedians slip into the roles of sometimes quirky, sometimes idiosyncratic, but always lovable villagers. Welcome to Smeilingen, the most hilarious village in Germany, guaranteed! Nestled between yesterday and today, tradition and modernity, sometimes shrill and colourful, rarely quiet and never boring, the village captivates with its community, its rural idyll – and above all with its inhabitants themselves, who regularly turn the everyday life of their homeland upside down.

The cast includes Uwe Ochsenknecht, Michelle Hunziker, Heino Ferch, Hannes Jaenicke, Elena Uhlig, Armin Rohde, Tony BauerNegah Amiri, Phil Laude, Nico Stank, Mirja Boes, Tim Alberti, Christine Neubauer, Martin Klempnow, Jorge González, Cordula Stratmann and Katrin Bauerfeind.

Original, unique, colourful and funny beyond the village limits: ‘SMEILINGEN – A village like you and me’ is a new generation of sketch comedy. In each of the six 30-minute episodes, we see our favourite characters again. With a great sense of humour and attention to detail, the sketches are devoted to the big and small moments of ‘typical’ village life.
