Wanderlustig: Die Comedy-Show

In the organizer's words:

Cologne Comedy Festival 2026
Cologne premiere

What happens when three seasoned comedians decide to go hiking together regularly? They enjoy the beauty and grace of nature. They marvel at the Balkenschröter, a beetle with the name of a double grain of corn, in Gelsenkirchen's untouched nature. You hike the picturesque garage courtyard skyline of Wuppertal-Oberbarmen as well as the Hoheward spoil tip across its mythical southern flank. The wonders of creation lurk everywhere.

Martin Fromme, Helmut Sanftenschneider and Sascha Thamm use all these components and the hundreds of kilometers they have hiked together to create a wonderful evening full of cabaret, comedy, music, laughter and serious information. Rounded off with a good pinch of anarchy and a lot of fun on stage.

Experience Wanderlust, Wanderlism and Wanderzamba live!

Martin Fromme: Legendary comedy force of the Ruhr area. Known from Der Telök, Stromberg and everything that can take place on a stage. Even things that don't really belong there.

Helmut Sanftenschneider: Studied guitarist with a background in moderation. A virtuoso of the flamenco guitar, comedy and cultivated evening entertainment. And he is a reliable hiking route planner. Martin and Sascha regularly stumble along behind him, grumbling.

Sascha Thamm: author, comedian and nature freak. He finds rare animals and plants in corners where there shouldn't even be corners. A peregrine falcon with the look of a peregrine grasshopper.
