Young, likeable and, above all, funny – that's TONY BAUER. The passionate up-and-comer from Duisburg has brought a breath of fresh air into the comedy scene within a very short time! With his unique sense of humour and an impressive life story, he has made a name for himself and conquered the stages of the republic.

Tony Bauer has short bowel syndrome, a challenging health condition that makes him dependent on the continuous supply of nutrients via a tube. But instead of letting his illness get him down, Tony has decided to fight it with a smile and step onto the comedy stage. His motto, which he lives and embodies on stage, is: "We have to die a few times before we can live cool." This attitude reflects his positive energy and determination.

Since 2022, Tony Bauer has thrilled audiences in many shows with his quick-wittedness and self-irony. Already with one of his first appearances in the "NightWash" laundromat, he recommended himself for the largest stage in Europe: At the 1LIVE Comedy Night XXL in October 2022, he thrilled over 13,000 spectators. In the meantime he is on the road with his first solo program "Parachuting".

With his charm and a very unique view of the world, Tony takes the audience on a journey through his everyday life and tells of his experiences with short bowel syndrome to the absurd hurdles that have been put in his way. Growing up in Duisburg-Marxloh, he developed a refreshing perspective on life. With his stage presence and a story that inspires, Tony Bauer invites all viewers to immerse themselves in his world with him.
