"Hello there! Have you seen my dog?" In his fifth program, Simon Chen goes out and exposes his characters to the here and now; funny, critical and biting. His master goes for a walk. Un lets off the leash
Born in 1972, Simon Chen grew up in Fribourg. The comedian refused to do military service and dropped out of university. In 1995, he passed the entrance exam to the Bern University of Theater, where he graduated four years later. He subsequently worked as a theater actor for several years, first in the German province and later at Theater Marie in Aarau.
In 2005, he appeared on a Poetry-Slam stage for the first time, which initiated a gradual development from actor to spoken word artist. He has been a freelance spoken word author and presenter since 2007 and also works as a freelancer for SRF radio (including for "Zytlupe" and "Schreckmümpfeli").
In 2010, he released his first solo CD Solange ihr lacht, followed three years later by the book (including CD) Sushi Casanova. He also made a guest appearance on Giacobbo/Müller and had a small role in the SRF late-night show Querdenker.
In 2015, he ventured into cabaret. His first program Meine Rede! Kabarett am Pult der Zeit was performed around 80 times. This was followed in 2018 by the second program Typisch! Cabaret for individual cases. From 2021 he was on tour with Ausserordentliche Lage - Katastrophenkabarett. Since autumn 2023, he has been on tour with his fourth solo program Im Anfang war das Wort.
In 2020, he was nominated for the Swiss Cabaret Award.
