Teresa Reichl is now almost 30 and has not achieved any of the goals she set herself at 16. No house, no husband, no children. But a girlfriend and a three-legged cat. And the stage instead of teaching. How are you supposed to know that you're an adult if you earn your money with jokes? And how are you supposed to earn your money with jokes if you suddenly get depressed?
Life is colorful when you build all your own milestones, go from gig to therapy and don't have to panic about accidentally getting pregnant. Life is also wild when you're traveling between the village and the big city, between roast pork and iced latte with oat milk, between classic literature and Tiktok trends. And then your studies suddenly come to an end and you have to choose which insurance policies you want, even though it feels like you were only of age yesterday. So it's no surprise that Teresa prefers not to experience anything in her private life - and yet has plenty to talk about.
Teresa talks about being in between, about not belonging and about the search for love - including being overwhelmed when it arrives. When everything turns out differently than you always thought, there's only one thing to do: laugh about it. And that works quite well - so far.
Teresa Reichl was born in 1996 in Haunersdorf near Simbach near Landau an der Isar (yes, the village is that small). After graduating from high school, she left in 2015 and moved to Regensburg to study to become a teacher of German and English at grammar schools. Almost simultaneously, she had her first slam performance at the Alte Mälzerei. Since then, Teresa has performed around 100 times a year on stages in German-speaking countries.
In 2016, she became Bavarian U20 champion, which earned her a place in the final of the international German-speaking U20 championships in Magdeburg. Further participations in numerous championships followed, in which Teresa represented her adopted home of Regensburg.
Due to her studies and her great enthusiasm for working with children and young people, Teresa began to give workshops at schools. Since then, she has organized an annual workshop at a high school in Landau and an U20 slam as part of the Youth Culture Days.
Due to the pandemic, Teresa moved her art online and regularly published videos on instagram, tiktok and youtube, where she told her followers a lot about (classical) literature and feminism. Now that the virus is no longer an issue, her art is finally taking place live on stage again, as well as on TV, radio and in podcasts.
