An event in the Josepha Walter & Maximilian Lorenz seriesHuh, what do you call that now? Double solo? Twice half-solo? Man, where are we supposed to know? We call it: Two awesome people tell their best jokes and you can listen. Cool? Cool.Josepha Walter and Maximilian Lorenz are two up-and-coming newcomers on the German stand-up scene and host the weekly joint podcast 'ok, random.' This time, however, they won't be talking to each other, but one after the other, presenting their best material.Josepha Walter, after several years in acting, makes her debut as a stand-up comedian in 2023.Josepha stands, sits, observes, thinks and loves to live from the sidelines, and that's exactly what her comedy is about: Almost nice here, almost a successful evening, almost an interesting conversation, almost not awkward for the date—but why do they all have to be so strange? Or is that just her?Maximilian Lorenz is a stand-up comedian from München, but lives in Berlin. No joke. On stage he speaks passionately and outspokenly about everything, as long as it's funny. With quick perception, precise phrasing and unforeseen perspectives, he brings our zeitgeist to the point and isn't afraid to laugh at himself first.

Ella baila. Ella canta. Ella es espontánea. Y hace música con la que probablemente sea la mejor voz desde Nina Hagen… ¡Anna Mateur es esta maravillosa y sorprendente aparición que, con su asombroso volumen vocal y un humor negro y profundo, eclipsa todo lo que aquí intenta hacerse pasar por gran arte, pequeño arte, arte secundario o intermedio!¡Anna Mateur es: arte especial!Ella desenmascara lo grotesco de la normalidad, lo monstruoso de la mediocridad y la conexión entre confort y conformismo… Todo esto con los medios del arte utilitario: repertorio musical desenfrenado. Versiones. Canciones.Una noche en la que la simbiosis de sentimiento y conocimiento provoca una gran catarsis. Expect the unexpected. ¡Eso es Annamateur!

„What's all this nonsense?!“ – this question has probably occurred to everyone at some point. Hendrik Brehmer asks himself this question regularly. Life is complicated, and while many try to somehow get by or simply accept things, he does exactly the opposite: He doesn't simply accept anything. However, he doesn't change anything either. Instead, he gets a bit worked up about it. In his first solo program „a bit worked up“, Hendrik takes the audience on a journey through his very personal overwhelm: A 30-year-old, somewhere between being a father, being in a relationship, and everything else – and the urgent question: „Where's my Lego Technic, actually?“ Originally, he wanted to understand the universe as a physicist. Today, he's a comedian – and doesn't even understand his own feelings or why there are so many different noodle worries. On stage, he stands as a young adult overwhelmed by his fears – and is afraid of becoming even more overwhelmed.Hendrik Brehmer doesn't want to explain the world – he can't even do that. But he shows how absurd the attempt is to make sense of it all. With dry humor, honest stories, and a eye for the absurd, he talks about his grandmother's views, his father's missing leg, or what it's like to found a family as an East German small-town kid in the capital. Hendrik shows that the truth doesn't always have to be convenient to be funny. Real-life stories. No Disney.In the end, Hendrik just tries to find a bit of serenity in the chaos with creativity and empathy. Does he succeed? Find out – LIVE on stage.

An event of the Teresa Reichl seriesInformation on the new program to follow...

Teresa Reichl had one single dream during her school days: to get a reprimand - and that was for gross misconduct. However, none of her lies were outrageous enough, none of her paper airplanes shot down the bird. The mischief was simply never gross enough. But today, the winner of the German cabaret award has a stage all to herself, the whole evening to spare, and is completely in the mood to finally let loose. This show will be too much, too flashy, and too elaborate. Too queer, too fat, and too loud. It will be too cheeky and too nice, too specific and too general. It will be everything that makes Teresa Reichl who she is. And then we'll see just how grossly one can cause mischief!
