the meeting place is the cave of the robbers, an artist’s Studio, on the Stierli-Areal in Zurich-Seebach, hundreds of things standing around, Bricolage-Chic totally. Here Gabirano and Kiko have rehearsed your program, it’s called “Lost in Hong Kong” and consists of reminiscences of a journey. “Online and offline”, promised by the Poster, because that’s the way it is, if Gabirano, just over 20, one of the largest Social media Influencer of Switzerland, and Kiko, now 33, is the winner of the Swiss Comedy Award in 2018 in the category “Young Talents”, to make common cause.
Kiko is already there, he sits in the Lounge of the den of thieves, and he talks at the beginning of the solo on the project. Gabirano is still on the road; something, it is said, will not have worked with Uber. Always these things happen to him, often he is late. The conversation will begin with a Gabirano, the is not quite on the wire, like the program on the stage. Offline, so to speak.
the two of them were Sometimes really lost in the city
Online you can the two see. On your trip to Hong Kong, the Comedians have posted a couple of Videos, the titles are yacht “bathing fun on a luxury” or “Youtube Stars make Hong Kong unsafe” – how trite. “We had mega plans for the next five days, we wanted to make Videos, and in the evening, maybe even Jokes to write,” says Kiko.
The Plan was perfect, but he did not – how much it worked the first Time. Firstly, Kiko and Gabirano had the Newcomer of the Swiss Comedy scene, a huge jet lag. Secondly, it was in Hong Kong, very humid, 90 percent humidity.
a bit chaotic, the days passed, the two were sometimes really lost in the city, in short: It was all very exhausting. “We would do it again,” says Kiko, “then simply plan better.” And now Gabirano turns on: “We are artists. And artists need sometimes, not a timetable.”
you have done everything, so that “Lost in Hong Kong” school. Now everything is prepared for the tour: from Zurich, Bernhard-Theater, where the production has at the Wednesday Premiere, to the casino theatre Winterthur, and in between, Bern, Lucerne, St. Gallen. For Stand-up conditions.
The journey has already begun in March. At the time, Gabirano and Kiko met in Bern at the Kick-off of the “screens Infirm”, a new Mixed-Show-project next year’s Premiere. They spent the afternoon together, chillten a little, went to the hairdresser and said, in the sense of a between the use of their talents: let’s Do something together for the stage! The idea with Hong Kong was fast: If someone takes a trip, he can tell something.
so Far they had only told of how the Swiss Stand-up Comedians like to make, about the Childhood and the presence of a youth in a country that was for Kiko and Gabirano first of all, a foreign. The trip to Hong Kong should expand the territory. And back again to the old ways.
Kiko is actually Frank Cabrera-Hernandez, he came as a child from the Dominican Republic to Switzerland. Märstetten, Kradolf, yeast, hofen, Canton of Thurgau were the first stations. The song “O du goldigs Sünneli”, sung on the first day of school, he held for the Swiss national anthem, and the game of “Who’s afraid of the black man” he was afraid of in the gym and worry. His Version to the Integration was later “S whole Schiisland Japanese hot uf the Niggers”, with brother Boro Kiko was as a Rapper on the road – and also as Manager of the Jamaican bobsleigh team for the Sochi Olympics. “The Maximum I want to achieve and a little bit more,” said Kiko in an Interview. The Maximum is for him now: Stand-up Comedian.
The long version of Gabirano Gabirano is Guinand, grew up in the Berne, in Burundi, now he lives in Zurich. “Seg is like that Lustigs” was the name of his first program, the halls were sold out. To Stand-up Comedy, he was taken more by accident, because actually he’s a Social Media Star, as he is called in any case, anywhere, him, 180000 people – mostly very young – on Instagram follow. There it is, what happens to him in the story, mostly the funny stuff. And sometimes it happens to him also, that he forgets on stage at the Pointe.
Like a Comedy team of the silent era
Gabirano fits in nowhere well: not in a Taxi, on the plane, not on the luxury yacht in Hong Kong – his legs are just too long. Two meters zero eight, he is not measuring at present, perhaps now is another inch, because the jacket that he bought last year is too short. Also, Kiko has no Assembly mass: he Would use a mannequin with clothes, he says, would look at him all the not so good. “No Karl Lagerfeld thinks, okay, for a guy like Kiko, I want to design.” In Hong Kong, the two were on the dress market. Gabirano a Chinese shirt, Kiko chose a cats-T-Shirt. Funny, both of them looked like Pat & Patachon, the Comedy team of the silent film era, a very long, the other rather short.
this Is already funny enough? As always, the Big and the Small in the world of Stand-up Comedy is just a joke.
