1. Mülheimer Lachnacht

Cast:

The evening will be hosted by the good-humored Ole Lehmann, who started his comedy career over 30 years ago at the recently opened Quatsch Comedy Club in Hamburg and is now once again taking his funniest comedy acts out of the closet, dusting them off and bringing them to the stage in new splendor. It will be difficult to pick out the best of these numbers. Will it be the stadium horn that brings fun back into everyday life or the screaming entertainers at the vacation club? Will it be the cheerful spy phone call to the pizza delivery man or the funny announcements from the train conductor? Does Ole talk about Darth Vader's private life or about the glittering vampire in Twilight? And does Adolf actually still work at the post office and Louis in a Berlin bakery? Nobody knows, not even Ole himself. "You just have to get involved with Lehmann's special kind of humor: always open, always honest, sometimes cheeky, always funny and direct." (Allgäuer Zeitung) He has invited the following guests:

Dave Davis, the "Sunshine Generator" of the German cabaret and comedy scene, has packed his emergency aid package for Germany, disguised as a live show. We humans see ourselves as the last rung on the evolutionary ladder, and life could be so easy if it weren't for all the others. Our fellow human beings cause our "aggrocyte level" to skyrocket to critical heights and we escalate. What now? Doom as a path? Crisis as a motto? You can do it, but you don't have to. Or maybe "Singing In The Rain" instead? You don't have to, but you should! You want to know how? Then experience Dave Davis live!

Jonas Greiner - topical, intelligent and uproariously funny. He convinces with his unmistakable way of combining sharp, ironic social criticism and funny everyday stories with top-class and refreshing humor. Have you had stress, trouble, an argument or a bout of gout recently? No problem: Jonas Greiner can't take it all off your hands, but he will certainly put you in a funnier frame of mind and make you forget the difficulties of everyday life. How does that work? By taking a humorous approach to pretty much everything that happens around him in his stories. And he takes you on a journey through Germany and the world, through the here and now and the circumstances of our time, in which everyone else is just arguing.

Dagmar Schönleber stands for clever cabaret with heart and attitude while at the same time enjoying the silliness. She deals with socially relevant topics and, in a crisis-ridden world, always maintains her optimism and a view of the touching little things in everyday life that can save the day. Whether it's about our relationship with robot vacuum cleaners or the future of humanity, Dagmar Schönleber takes care of the small problems as well as the general survival of species - and does so with a lot of feeling. Or rather with many feelings: from anger to joy. She combines punk rock with poetry, herself with the audience and words with music, whether with guitar or fat beats, ballad or disco. In short: it has everything from "Oops!" to "Hossa!" and has already won several awards.

Daniel Helfrich offers the audience socio-critical piano cabaret with an absolute guarantee of laughter. Original? Copy? Truth? Fake? "I was just missing myself," he says. He parodies himself deceptively realistically and even gives the impression of being Daniel Helfrich. A witty pseudo-tribute show from the master of highbrow nonsense. Sounds funny? It is! Daniel Helfrich must have had a clone for breakfast. A game of mistaken identity with socially critical songs about horsewomen, impatience, soccer experts, artificial intelligence and "Schlechterwisser". Cheers, doubles, hilarity and a sophisticated, whimsical homage to the ego in each of us... A musically rousing evening that will make everyone realize: "I was just missing myself".
