Jena, May 20, 2026. The Hamburg comedian and bestselling author Nicole Jäger is bringing her new program “Grande Dame” to Jena. At F-Haus on June 5, the 43-year-old will dedicate herself to the topics of self-love and body acceptance with plenty of humor.
- What: Comedy show “Grande Dame” by Nicole Jäger

- Where: F-Haus Jena, Krautgasse 22, 07743 Jena
- Topic: Humorous approach to body shaming and obesity
Laughing Against Shame: Body Positivity on Stage
Statistically, more than half of adults in Germany are considered overweight. This is a topic often associated with shame and prejudice in everyday life. This is exactly where Hamburg-born Nicole Jäger comes in. In her new show “Grande Dame,” the bestselling author and stand-up comedian processes societal taboos surrounding body weight and shares her own experiences.
Jäger became known for, among other things, her previous and highly successful program “Ich darf das, ich bin selber dick” (I’m allowed to do that, I’m fat myself). Her declared goal on stage is to strip negative attributes like “fat” or “obese” of their hurtful meaning through relentless honesty and targeted punchlines. Instead, self-love and a healthier mental approach to one’s own body are to take center stage.
Venue: F-Haus
The F-Haus in the center of Jena is one of the most traditional and well-known event venues in the university city. Due to its central location near Krautgasse, the venue is a permanent fixture in Jena’s cultural life and regularly offers an intimate atmosphere for concerts, readings, and comedy formats.
