The Giggle Doctors

Regular visits in hospitals

Giggle Doctors are special doctors who bring dreams to life with fun and laughter. Their precious visits take place every week in 32 hospitals and one children’s hospice in Switzerland. Tailored to individual needs and the condition of each child, Giggle Doctors spontaneously use their imagination power to stage a fitting act that not only brings cheer and laughter to little patients, but at the same time allows them to slip back into the fantasy world of children.

These are our Giggle Doctors

Multidisciplinary training

We take the training of the Giggle Doctors very seriously, ensuring the safety of the Giggle Doctors, hospital staff, and the children we visit and their families. During their intensive 1 year training, Giggle Doctors cover both clinical training such as infection control and artistic training, which helps them to adapt their artistic skills to the hospital environment.

Region

Dr Adagio

Adagio is a speed term in music for slow and quiet songs, which fits Dr Adagio perfectly. He always has an instrument with him, either an accordion, a bass or a guitalele. Dr Adagio is happy when he can make music for others and with others.

Dr Ahoi

The ship's captain Dr Ahoi loves to surprise the children with a delicious dose of naivety and kindness. He has many tricks up his sleeve – sometimes they go a bit wrong, then the little «sailors» help him.

Dr Blumenwurz

Dr Blumenwurz's hairstyle is like a root on her head and her costume is inspired by flowers. Her improvisations are quirky, poetic and sometimes a little crazy.

Dr Carusela

Dr Carusela loves to gallop around like a young pony. For her, there is always something exciting to discover and experience. She always has her pet monkey Robertina with her, with whom she performs wild acrobatics and likes to dive into the circus world. But what she likes best are imaginative, exciting, adventurous, brave, nice and colourful stories.

Dr Chapeau

Dr Chapeau loves to jump, bounce, eat strawberries and go on dream trips. When a girl wistfully confessed to him that she had never been to the sea, he made a blue silk cloth become a vast ocean. The girl's eyes shone, you could almost see the reflection of the sea in them...

Dr Chaussette

Dr Chaussette likes to laugh, at everything and especially at nothing. She loves to sing, dance, play, and most of all she likes funny or wonderful stories and the wildest fantasy scenarios. She even trains to become a fairy and fulfill everyone's wishes. And of course, she's committed to making sure the year has two summers.

Dr Chic

A beret and sequin trainers, a floral dress – she's chic from head to toe. Her constant companions are: Léon the Lion, her telescopic spoon and rake, her lemon maracas and her kalimba.

Dr Chrüsimüsi

Dr Chrüsimüsi comes from the world of miracles, from the world where whatever’s impossible is possible. She has everything in her head and loses it right away. She likes it when the hospital room turns into a spaceship, a desert island or a children's disco. In Chrüsimüsi's world, everything, absolutely everything is purple.

Dr Clafoutis

She loves the colour red, she is mischievous, a little clumsy, but most of all she loves to bake clafoutis... with kiwis, spinach, tuna, xylophones, marmosets, funny oddballs... and, of course, cherries!

Dr Coccola

Dr Cocobella

Dr Cocobella loves music. She enchants both young and old with her smiley ukulele. Tschiga, Tschigo and Bubu, her funny animals made of everyday objects, accompany her wherever she goes. They greet children in hospital or allow them to lead them around on a leash in institutions for children with disabilities. Wow... now that's fun!

Dr Couette

Dr Couette? Because of her ponytails? Or because she likes to take a nap? Accompanied by her mouse Lili, she takes everyone gently and cheerfully into her fantasy world. And who knows... maybe she will discover a ladybird between her toes?
