CHAt the Swiss Comedy Awards 2026, Zurich-based comedian Nathalie Frei won the 'SRF 3 Best Talent Comedy 2026' award, defeating competitors Naomi Peper and Pavel Zborik. The 31-year-old half-Swiss, half-Egyptian comedian combines personal stories from her multicultural background with sharp observations on office life and self-deprecating humor. In her acceptance speech, she joked about her wild holiday experiences in Hurghada during the 1990s, attributing her humor to her mother. Frei, who has been performing comedy for about 1.5 years, expressed surprise at discovering she was less humorous than expected, highlighting the challenges of the craft. She plans to continue pursuing comedy professionally, though currently it remains more of a passion than a livelihood.
