Comedians Lev Meniker and Gian-Marco Lutz; Gadget Guru - Barbecue Gadgets

Lev Meniker has been doing comedy for four years and is now developing his solo show, «Done by Hand». He also hosts various shows with Sparkle Comedy Club. Lev gets incandescent with rage when people make fun of him for looking like Jesus, whether it's based on his hair, personality or Jewishness. Sparkle Comedy Club's next show will be on 19 July at Kleiner Wassermann.

Gian-Marco Lutz is a student of Philosophy and Comedy and he is as funny as his nose is big. He diversified into stand-up after he realised that the job market for philosophers has not been hot in thousands of years. He really needs this gig. Born, raised and hardly educated in Basel, his comedy resembles Swiss cheese: sweet, smooth and full of holes. It pairs nicely with a good white wine. His next shows are on 3 August at Heimat in Basel and 23 August at Auer & Co. in Zurich.

Summer is upon us, so Ian the Gadget Guru talked barbecue gadgets: vegetable roasters, meat thermometers, pricey slow-cookers (like the Traeger Timberline 1300 or the 650), cleaning products (such as the Grillbot Automatic Grill Cleaning Robot), and long gloves for grilling. Listen to the segment here.

This was our last show before the summer break – we will be back on air on August 13th!

Wet Leg - Chaise Longue

Dominik Hartz - Klimpa Klimpa
