Collective Beat opens its 2026 winter season with the "Peace Love Positivity Comedy Festival", a comedy night that brings together different styles and approaches to stand-up on the same stage.

Fourteen comedians from all around the world come together to spread laughter and offer commentary on today's reality, presented by Hakan Çoban.

The concept of the comedy night is built around variety, with political, sexual, dark, feminist, LGBTIQ+, vegan and more “peaceful” comedy all forming part of the programme. Collective Beat compares the format to a taverna or meyhane, where different flavours are brought together and served at the same table.

Where: Rüstem Bookstore

Doors open: 20:00

The organisers invite audiences to come for an evening combining “peace, love, positivity, comedy” and, as they put it, “a little bit of everything else”.
