Leverkusens Kleinste Sitzung 2026

In the organizer's words:

Leverkusen's smallest session (LKS) is back - cheeky, clever and crazier than ever!

This year is all about climate change. When it burns, storms, floods or withers, the LKS becomes a stage for cabaret, carnival and Cologne self-irony. Who gambled away the planet? And how do we save the world when the mood changes and the sea level rises?

The LKS is Leverkusen's only cabaret alternative to the traditional carnival. Here, young talents meet old acquaintances, political satire meets jolly joie de vivre - and the audience is treated to almost four hours of a packed program in the main hall of the KAW. This is followed by the legendary LKS after-show party.

Since its invention in 1997 by the unforgotten Johannes Boddenberg, the LKS has developed from an insider tip to a cult evening.

Once a year, it's a place for sharp shooting, hearty laughter and partying with attitude.
