Taken from a mix of regular and guest comedians, each of them is given an enormously tricky objective by the host. Their fun-filled challenge is to retain their composure while they set up deeply elaborate traps and surprising twists-and-turns to take their victims for the proverbial ride.

“Schiller Street” highlights the almost-lost art of improvisation.
Although seemingly simple, the improv comedy show boasts a groundbreaking concept that is realized through a highly defined production method.
The basics: a stage, a few top-class comedians, a continual flow of surprise guests - and no script whatsoever. “Schiller Street” cleverly combines improv comedy with a true sitcom feeling.
Using a headset, the director guides each comedian with individual instructions that are unknown to the other cast members. By creating an amusing and gripping storyline without the limitations of following a script, “Schiller Street” delivers improv comedy at its best.
The reaction of the others to a character's cue is what has made this show so incredibly funny. “Act like an Eskimo”, ”Imitate a stewardess” or “You feel like John Travolta” - confronted by such out-there tasks, each comedian must improvise on the spot and go with the flow. Anything can happen… and it usually does!
A rotating variety of guests keep the humor at high level, although there are never more than five actors on stage at any point in time.
The audience is kept aware of the hidden dialogue, which is flashed on the screen - but with the sheer spontaneity of the situation, no one could possibly predict in what direction they will go next...
Building on its success of over 100 aired episodes and outperforming the channel average by up to 95%, the heavily anticipated new season of the hilarious improv comedy launched spectacularly on Sat.1!
