Ivanka Galic-Vuletic, born on July 20, 1985, in Makarska (Croatia). She grew up in the canton of Aargau, where she still lives and works today. She made her debut as a comedian in May 2018 with her first step onto the stage. In her comedy, she shares stories from her life as a woman and mother, drawing on experiences from relationships, everyday life, and dating. Influenced by the Balkan temperament of her family of origin and the pragmatic Swiss side of her personality, she combines opposites. Her comedy is a collection of individual moments. Mosaic pieces that at first glance seem like a chaotic pile of colorful stones, but when viewed from a distance, form a lively image called life. Humor becomes a way to endure ambivalences, shift perspectives, and laugh together.
